The survey concluded that a majority of people put health in firstplace for the holiday. @@China's tourist industry, which was hard hit by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, experienced a gradual recovery from August, and resulted in growth of eco-tourism, health tourism, small-group tourism and self-drive tourism.
