Airlines and travel stocks are on investors' radar after the world’s second-largest economy China eased some of its pandemic-related restrictions.

Beijing said it would reduce the quarantine period for overseas visitors. The move could be a boon to the travel industry. China had imposed strict rules to curb the spread of Covid-19 infections.

The travel industry was one of the worst-hit sectors due to restrictions on travel globally. However, the sector recovered some of its losses due to easing pandemic restrictions.

In 2020, US travel spending decreased by over 40%. However, by April 2022, it rose around 3% from its pre-pandemic levels. Spending on international travel declined over 75% in 2020 while recovering only around 4% in 2021, according to the World Tourism Organization.

The following are the top travel stocks to explore after China’s easing of pandemic restrictions.
