"China Travel" -in the middle of Visa, tax policy thrust

Beijing (Antara) – China's optimized guidelines for visa and tax reimbursements have strengthened inbound tourism and made China Travel a trend topic worldwide.

In the recent episode of China Economic Roundtable, an All-Media talk show by Xinhua News Agency Liu Jia, an official of the National Immigration Administration, showed that the updated visa-free guidelines have made it easier for the procedures and the reduced time and financial burdens for foreign travelers to attend China.

China has introduced a number of guidelines since 2023 to facilitate incoming trips. The most important steps include the expansion of mutual visa exceptions, the granting of one -sided visa -free access and the expansion of the visa -free stay for international visitors.

Currently, China has set up comprehensive mutual visa exceptions with 29 countries, carried out one -sided visa -free guidelines for 38 countries and offers visa -free access to travelers from 54 countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.

Tax reimbursement systems for international travelers have also been optimized. Foreign buyers can now immediately collect tax discounts in service -free business. In addition, China has reduced the minimum purchase threshold for reimbursements, increased the upper limit for the cash plump reimbursement and expanded the available product range.

Shi Zeyi, an official of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said about the Roundtable that “China Travel” showed a robust recovery and broad growth prospects with continuous improvements in terms of visa, payment and tax policy.

Last year, China recorded 132 million incoming trips, according to SHI, according to SHI, according to SHI to 94.2 billion US dollars to 97.2 percent or 93.5 percent of the level of 2019.

Liu found that the influx of foreign visitors triggered consumption in sectors such as hospitality, retail and cultural services, which contributes to the growth of service trade and attracts foreign investments.

These updated guidelines reflect China's commitment to further opening, said Liu and added that they could help promote a deeper cultural understanding between China and the international community and to break stereotypes that are held by some countries.

“Experience from first hand can help to dispel misunderstandings and prejudices and to enable the world to see, feel and recognize an open, inclusive, successful, stable and safe china,” said Liu.
