In 2020, while global tourism has almost come to a halt, domestic tourism within China has not.

The Plaza Premium Lounge site is a centralized portal for cataloging lounges and allowing its members to make exclusive reservations. It was an important business prerequisite, therefore, to have that site be a fast and functional site in China.

During China's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in 2020, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism record 637 million visits across China. Domestic tourism in China has also contributed to RMB¥467 billion (US$68.5 billion) in 2020 alone.
