Domestic tourism is at 90%+ of 2019 levels, which were an all-time record, and that includes the full year - recent months are over 100%.
International tourism is largely recovering other than China but does remain below 2019 levels, but China made up ~1 million tourists in 2019 compared to more than 66 million overall - there’s a real decline but it’s a fraction of overall tourism.
In aggregate, current projections are for ~56 million tourists this year, or about 85% of 2019 levels, and that’s increased significantly as the year goes on (September in the city looks VERY different from January 2022)
