In the first two months of 2024, China recorded 2.95 million inbound and outbound trips made by foreigners, said an official on Friday quoting data from the National Immigration Administration.
The previous period and a recovery reached 41.5 percent of the level before the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes are in part due to China recently expanding the visa-free countries.
Looking ahead, China will take steps to remove obstacles and address issues in culture and tourism, in particular, making the payment process more convenient at tourist sites, cultural performance venues, and hotels.
