May 19th, i.e. Thursday, was celebrated as the 12th Tourism Day in China. But, because of COVID-19, travel habits of the common people have went through enormous transformation. It has become a kind of new normal for travellers not to be a part of any gathering, not to travel distant places, and to give importance to personal cleanliness and hygiene like never before.
