It is more convenient and efficient, which makes more overseas tourists keen to punch the “China tour” and enjoy the “China tour”. Previously, the effects of a series of visa-free policy adjustments were also superimposed in this summer. In May this year, China extended its visa-free policy to 12 countries including France until December 31, 2025. In June, the scope of visa-free countries was expanded to New Zealand, Australia and Poland. In July, the 144-hour visa-free transit policy was expanded to 37 ports.
Dai BIN: “In particular, it is worth mentioning the facilitation of visa policies, including mutual visa exemption, unilateral visa exemption, transit visa exemption, cruise port visa exemption and the reduction of procedures, procedures and information obtained by the visa itself; The second is the facilitation of consumption, especially the facilitation of payment, there are more POS machines and more local scenes for credit card swiping. The third is the facilitation of language and scenes, and there are more and more open scenes.”
In the promotion of a number of policies, this summer, China’s port passenger flow has increased significantly. Platform data show that only from July 1 to 21, the actual number of passenger flights executed on China’s entry-exit routes exceeded 44,000, an increase of about 59%, and the number of inbound and outbound passenger transport increased by about 71%. In some popular cities for inbound tourism, as of July 31, Xi ‘an used the visa-free policy to enter more than 21,000 foreign tourists at Xi ‘an port, an increase of 33 times year-on-year, and the number of 144-hour transit visa-free tourists increased 2.4 times year-on-year. From July 1 to August 9, Beijing’s city-owned parks received 184,600 foreign visitors, up 90 percent year-on-year.
Dai BIN: “We definitely feel that our inbound tourism market is much more relaxed and confident than in the past, and the whole system is working more and more efficiently.”
This summer, the hot inbound tourism, not only active the domestic tourism market, but also further promote the cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. This summer, a French study tour group of more than 80 people came to Chengdu to carry out exchanges and mutual learning with local people through traditional Chinese medicine. A French man named Robin learned acupuncture under the guidance of a doctor, and he benefited a lot from his trip to China.
In more than 20 days, from acupuncture, cupping to massage, prescription, from liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach to children, gynecology, these practitioners and students of traditional Chinese medicine from theoretical knowledge to applied practice, and then to deep learning, the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine culture is more profound.In particular, it is worth mentioning the facilitation of visa policies, including mutual visa exemption, unilateral visa exemption, transit visa exemption, cruise port visa exemption and the reduction of procedures, procedures and information obtained by the visa itself; The second is the facilitation of consumption, especially the facilitation of payment, there are more POS machines and more local scenes for credit card swiping. The third is the facilitation of language and scenes, and there are more and more open scenes.
In addition to learning and exchanging traditional Chinese medicine, the team also went into the community to interact with residents, experience the food and Sichuan opera culture, visit Dujiangyan, see China’s national treasure giant pandas, and become a “bridge” and “messenger” for the continuous friendship between China and France.
Dai BIN: “When foreign tourists come to China and understand a real, three-dimensional and comprehensive image of China, it will be easier for them to understand the political, economic and cultural aspects of China today, and have a deeper understanding of China’s road. I think tourism is the most important way to promote cultural exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations.”In particular, it is worth mentioning the facilitation of visa policies, including mutual visa exemption, unilateral visa exemption, transit visa exemption, cruise port visa exemption and the reduction of procedures, procedures and information obtained by the visa itself; The second is the facilitation of consumption, especially the facilitation of payment, there are more POS machines and more local scenes for credit card swiping. The third is the facilitation of language and scenes, and there are more and more open scenes.
Tourism is an important window to showcase national images and enhance mutual learning among civilizations. The National Immigration Administration predicts that the popularity of foreigners coming to China will continue to heat up in the second half of this year, and China’s inbound tourism has entered a new stage of normalization. This summer, a French study tour group of more than 80 people came to Chengdu to carry out exchanges and mutual learning with local people through traditional Chinese medicine. A French man named Robin learned acupuncture under the guidance of a doctor, and he benefited a lot from his trip to China. To make the credible, lovely and respectable image of China more exciting and more inspiring, we also need to constantly innovate tourism products, enhance cultural experience, promote the development of smart tourism and service upgrading, and enhance tourism experience. Only by making “China tour” more convenient and attractive, and building a bridge of exchanges between China and other countries, can more people see a real, three-dimensional and comprehensive China and feel the fruits of Chinese-style modernization.
