Starting from June 1, China will pilot a visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. This expansion of China’s visa-free “circle of friends” comes as welcome news to global travelers. As China continues to open up, the trend of “China Travel” being embraced by foreign tourists and “World Travel” being favored by Chinese tourists is on the rise. This “two-way rush” has brought about a series of positive effects.
Firstly, it significantly boosts the tourism industry. The increased number of international tourists enriches the tourism market. In 2024, the number of inbound tourists in China witnessed a remarkable increase, with many choosing to explore beyond traditional hotspots. At the same time, more Chinese tourists traveling abroad contribute to the global tourism economy.
Secondly, it promotes cultural exchange. Foreign tourists visiting China get to experience the country’s profound culture, from ancient traditions to modern innovations. Chinese tourists going overseas can also gain a deeper understanding of different cultures. This mutual exploration helps break down cultural barriers and fosters a more inclusive world view.
Finally, it strengthens international relations. Tourism, as a form of people-to-people exchange, deepens mutual understanding and trust between countries. It serves as a bridge for countries to strengthen cooperation in various fields.
In conclusion, the “two-way rush” of Chinese and foreign tourists brought about by the expansion of visa-free policies not only enriches the travel experience of individuals but also injects new vitality into the global tourism industry and international relations.
