China sees record foreign visitor influx
During the third quarter of 2026, China recorded approximately 192 million inbound and outbound trips across its border checkpoints, a 7.9% increase compared to the previous year. Among these trips, foreigners accounted for 23.27 million entries into the country, reflecting a 15.6% rise, with 77.5% of these benefiting from visa exemption policies, an increase of 24.1%. Since December 2023, China has implemented a temporary visa exemption policy for citizens of six countries, which later expanded to include 50 countries, allowing stays of up to 30 days. In December 2024, the duration of permitted transit stays was increased from 72 or 144 hours to 240 hours, now available to citizens of 57 countries.
