China's tourism industry has seen impressive growth in recent months, with an increasing number of international visitors to the country. China has exempted visas for visitors from many countries, facilitating entry and promoting international tourism.
At the same time, the country is constantly developing and diversifying its tourism products to meet the needs and interests of international tourists. New attractions, unique tourism activities and high-quality tourism services are attracting tourists to the country.
The phrase "China Travel" is becoming a popular search keyword on many online platforms, showing the growing interest of international tourists in China's tourism industry. This is a positive signal for the development of the country's tourism industry in the coming time.
China's tourism is growing thanks to the right policies to attract tourists.
As a beautiful coastal city with many attractive attractions, Qingdao is becoming a favorite tourist destination for international visitors to China. It is considered one of the important ports of entry, welcoming a large number of tourists from different countries.
According to statistics from the immigration control station at Qingdao Airport, in the first half of this year, the number of foreign tourists entering Qingdao Airport exceeded 164,000, an increase of 252.26% over the same period in 2023. Among them, more than 79,000 individuals entered the country with tourist visas.
Qingdao becomes the top choice of tourists
In January 2023, China restored the 72-hour or 144-hour visa-free transit policy to a third country, which has played an important role in China's deep integration, facilitating people-to-people exchanges and promoting cooperation with other countries.
China's continued expansion of its visa-free policy is making it easier for foreigners to travel to China. Qingdao is one of 20 cities nationwide that implements a 144-hour visa-free transit policy for foreigners, and the only such city in Shandong Province.
