The search for "China" tours online among Australians soared significantly following the announcement that China will include Australia in the list of unilateral visa-free countries.

China's global travel service provider Trip.com saw search figures, with China as the keyword, from Australian tourists surge 80 percent within half an hour after the news on Monday from a day earlier, the Shanghai-based travel operator indicated.

Australia is China's No 5 inbound tourist source market this year, based on Trip.com statistics, with relevant inbound tourism orders growing 155 percent in 2024 from the same period last year, it said.

At the same time, the number of flights from Australia to China has soared 220 percent from a year earlier.

Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing are the top three destinations for Australian travelers, according to Trip.com.

With the summer vacation just around the corner, the average airfare for flights between Australia and China has dropped by almost 30% year-on-year.
