– China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism reported that China recorded 422 million tourist trips over the seven-day National Day holiday (1-7 Oct), down 18% from last year’s holiday season, or just 61% of pre-pandemic 2019 level, below market expectations. 

– Domestic tourism revenue was Rmb287.2 bn, down 26% yoy or just 44% of the pre-pandemic 2019 level. The sluggish data was mainly due to stringent movement restrictions caused by Covid resurgence in several regions.

– Local and short-distance tours accounted for 65% of the tourism market this year as many did not want to travel far but still want to explore during the week-long holiday, according to data from China’s largest online travel agency Ctrip. 

– Meituan data shown that local consumption become the major engine for holiday economy, and daily transaction volume of core local commerce increased by 52% compared with the same period in 2019 level.

Our View:

– We expect that with the gradual control of the Covid resurgence, pent-up demand will be further released. 

– Among e-commerce players, we like Meituan most at this trajectory as the local consumption leader should be the key beneficiary of the resilient demand for local commerce.

– Maintain BUY on Meituan (3690 HK) with TP of HK$296, Tongcheng travel (780 HK) with TP of HK$19.
