The products and structure of the traditional tourism service trade have been unable to adapt to the increasingly fierce international competition. How to improve the tourism service trade has become an urgent problem in China. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely hindered the development of international tourism service trade，and inbound and outbound tourism has almost completely stagnated. Hence，this paper aims to analyze the temporal and spatial characteristics of China’s tourism service trade and identify its problems，which will help optimize the development of the country’s tourism service trade and enhance the international tourism image and tourism status. In particular，in the context of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control，it is important to accelerate the formation of a new development pattern in which the domestic cycle is the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promote each other. It is necessary to study how the tourism service trade should deal with tourists’ new consumption patterns and consumption concepts. With the advent of the post-pandemic era，on the one hand，we must adapt to the normalized environment of epidemic prevention and control，be prepared for long-term failure to restore inbound and outbound tourism on a large scale，actively coordinate resources from all parties to adjust their own structure，and strengthen external communication and cooperation to adapt to the dramatic changes in the international environment. On the other hand，it is of significance for firms to promote the productivity，and actively seek the transformation and innovative development.
