From July to the end of August Shanghai airports handled 20,000 international passenger flights, with traveler numbers up almost 54% on the same period of 2019, according to the Shanghai General Station of Immigration Inspection. And though the summer season officially wrapped up last Thursday, some travelers are still taking advantage of the post-peak period to take off on their trips.

据上海边检机关统计，7月至8月底，上海的机场共完成国际客运航班吞吐量2万架次，旅客人数较2019年同期增长近54%。虽然暑运已于上周四正式结束，但仍有部分旅客趁着后高峰期踏上了出游之路。

According to the research institute of Tongcheng Travel, as outbound travel destinations and offerings increase, the market benefits of opening up outbound tourism are expected to be fully realized during the National Day holiday.

“当前来看，上海浦东机场出入境客流正处于平稳过渡阶段，但接下来伴随着杭州亚运会开幕、欧美开学季、秋冬展会季等叠加因素影响，客流短暂回落后仍将大幅回升。”
