The China Tourism Academy estimates that there will be 7 million outbound tourists during the Chinese National Day Holiday this year, hitting a record high. This holiday has become a global Golden Week, which is attracting the attention of foreign media and merchants. The Forbes website recently reported that Chinese tourists' preference for experience, consumption and accommodation will reshape the global tourism industry.

With the number of UnionPay App users exceeding 80 million, merchants view supporting UnionPay App as a way to welcome Chinese tourists.

In the first three days of the Golden Week, the transaction volume of UnionPay Mobile QuickPass and UnionPay QR Code Payment outside mainland China doubled year-on-year.

In the past few days, many UnionPay App users from Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland experienced this service there. From October 1st to 3rd, mainland China tourists visiting Hong Kong and Macao frequently used UnionPay mobile payment services, the transaction volume of which increased by nearly 100%. In New Zealand, the transaction volume of UnionPay Mobile QuickPass increased nearly five times year-on-year. Brett Ashley, general manager of Countdown Supermarket which is the largest local supermarket chain, said that the 181 stores in Countdown had all accepted UnionPay Mobile QuickPass, facilitating Chinese customers’ shopping in the supermarket.
"I ate the 70-year-old Osaka in the Dotonbori, getting 10% off with UnionPay cards!" Netizen Xiao Jing Zi shared her experience of paying via the UnionPay card in Japan yesterday. During the Golden Week, nearly 20,000 merchants from 25 countries and regions around the world are offering discounts up to 30% to UnionPay cardholders, covering popular destinations such as Hong Kong, Japan, Southeast Asia, and US, Australia, Europe, Russia.
