The recovery of inbound tourism leads to a more diverse array of offerings within the tourism industrial chain. On July 19, China's Capital Airlines, a subsidiary of the Hainan Airlines, launched an international air route linking Changsha and Bangkok, providing more options for Hunan passengers to go sightseeing and do business in Thailand. 

 Thailand is a popular destination for outbound tourism.

Inbound and outbound tourism has recovered gradually after the epidemic. Currently international tourism has entered an accelerated recovery stage. Hunan, particularly the internet-famous cities of Changsha and Zhangjiajie, serves as not only a major tourist source for outbound tourism, but also a hot destination for inbound tourism. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, has long been a favored destination for Hunan tourists. Thailand's Royal Palace, the Jade Buddha Temple, and bustling night markets and shopping centers attract a large number of foreign tourists every year.

The new route is operated four times per week, with flights departing from Changsha to Bangkok every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
