Driven by a series of policies facilitating inbound tours, business negotiations and family visits by foreigners, the number of international travelers to China continues to surge. This includes both short-term "weekend getaway" trips and cross-provincial in-depth tours, attracting both first-time visitors and frequent returnees. As of now, Daxing Airport has welcomed 211,000 foreign nationals entering China this year, reflecting a year-on-year increase of approximately 67.9%.

Since the beginning of this year, the economic recovery has driven a sustained rebound in international trade and cross-border tourism. The overlapping holidays of New Year's Day, winter vacation and the Spring Festival have all contributed to the growth of international passenger traffic at Daxing Airport, while flight destinations have been gradually expanding as well. 

As of March, Daxing Airport has added new flights connecting cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Casablanca and Vientiane. Additionally, airlines such as Air China, Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air and Batik Air Malaysia will begin their operations at Daxing Airport in the new season, further expanding its international route network.
