该研究院在线上发布会上称，预计2022上半年国内旅游出游人数为19.08亿人次。

"We have reason to make relatively optimistic estimations about China's tourism economy in the first half. But there are uncertainties brought by the resurgence of the epidemic, and we need to pay close attention to the COVID-19 response and people's willingness to travel, among others," CTA Director Dai Bin said.

>Crisis in Ukraine could slash global trade growth by half
俄乌战事恐使今年全球贸易增长几近减半

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has dealt a severe blow to the global economy, reducing forecast global trade growth for 2022 from the 4.7 percent predicted last October to between 2.4 percent and 3 percent. The projection, based on a global economic simulation model, was made by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Secretariat in a note issued on Monday.
当地时间4月11日，世贸组织秘书处在一份报告中表示，通过一个全球经济模拟模型预测，俄乌冲突对全球经济造成严重负面影响，可能导致今年全球贸易增速降至2.4%到3%之间，而去年10月该组织预测今年全球贸易增速可达4.7%。

According to the same model, the crisis could lower global GDP growth by 0.7-1.3 percentage points, bringing it to somewhere between 3.1 percent and 3.7 percent for 2022.
报告还预测，根据同一模型，俄乌冲突将使今年全球经济增速下降0.7到1.3个百分点，降至3.1%到3.7%之间。

The conflict has pushed up food and energy prices, and reduced the availability of goods exported by Russia and Ukraine, said the Secretariat note.
报告认为，俄乌冲突推高全球范围内食品和能源价格，并阻碍俄罗斯和乌克兰产品出口。
