BEIJING - The National Tourism Administration has reported that the tourism industry raked in RMB1.4 trillion in revenue during the first six months of the year, up 10.7% on-year. Passenger air traffic totalled 170 million people in the first half, up 11% from a year ago, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China. The domestic travel and outbound travel markets both expanded, although the inbound travel market shrank slightly due to weak global economic recovery.
