The rise in pet ownership has also fueled demand for services tailored toward animals.

Wang Jia is among a growing group of pet owners who now travel with their furry friends, thanks to an increase in animal-friendly tour groups catering to such needs. Over the National Day break, the 27-year-old traveled with a group of 20 dogs and their owners, visited a local ancient town, swam in a river, and ended their day at a five-star pet-friendly hotel.
