<p>Updated with air departure and hotel information on October 30, our Chinese travel tracker dashboard shows a couple of interesting data points this week:</p><ol>
<li>The pace of flight departure growth slowed at the four Mainland Chinese airports we track, while airports <em>outside</em> Mainland China showed solid improvement. This is the opposite of what we've seen in most periods since we launched this product in April 2020.</li>
