Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs updated the list of China ordinary passport visa-free/landing visa destinations, and the UAE became the 11th country to exempt ordinary passport visas from China. In addition, Gabon and Rwanda have added unilateral landing visa. At present, more than 6 countries and regions have implemented landing visa or visa-free access to China.

visa-free and landing visa countries are increasing, which reflects the background of China's tourism industry? What specific convenience will it bring to tourists? And listen to the reporter of Qianbao to interpret it slowly.

China's outbound market has great potential

Many countries have started to relax their visas accordingly

According to the information of the National Tourism Work Conference held on January 8, 218, in 217, China's per capita annual travel has reached 3.7 times, of which the outbound tourism market was 129 million, an increase of more than 45.8 million times compared with 212, with an average annual growth rate of 9.17% according to comparable caliber.

Obviously, outbound tourism has become the main mode for China people to travel abroad, which not only reflects the improvement of China citizens' living standards, but also sends a signal to many overseas countries that more tourists from China are coming.

In February p>217, Tunisia, a North African country, announced that it would grant visa-free access to China, allowing visitors to stay for up to 9 days. When talking about the evaluation of the importance of the China market, Tunisia's tourism department has clearly stated: "China is the country with the largest number of outbound tourists in the world, with hundreds of millions every year. This market is very important to Tunisia's tourism industry."

Of course, the purchasing power of China tourists is only one of the reasons to promote visa-free (or landing visa) for many countries. Among more than 2 countries in the world, China passports are actually not at the top in the number of visas, but with the promotion and recognition of China's diplomatic relations, visa reciprocity, security risks and immigration restrictions, its gold content is also rising rapidly.

Follow the visa policy to travel around the world

When you go to these countries during the Spring Festival, you should pay attention to

There is still nearly one month before the Spring Festival, and many friends have already started to make travel plans for the Spring Festival. With so many new visa-free and landing visa countries, how to choose a destination?

Serbia and Tunisia, which granted visa-free access to China citizens in p>217, are highly recommended.

The former is the first country in Central and Eastern Europe to reach a visa-free agreement with China, with exquisite architecture and simple culture. Although Belgrade, its capital, is not a "beautiful" city, its enthusiasm in the streets and lanes makes it one of the most exciting cities in Europe.

The latter is close to the Mediterranean Sea and faces Sicily, Italy across the sea. It not only brings together various natural landscapes such as beaches, deserts and mountains, but also is the birthplace of ancient Carthage civilization, with extremely rich scenery and culture.

after the new destination recommendation, let's talk about Thailand, an old tourist destination in landing visa. In 217, Thailand tourism was extremely popular. The processing time of Thailand tourist visa, which originally took only three days, was extended to 7-1 days, and some even took more than 15 days. Therefore, many people prefer to spend 2 baht more on landing visa.

However, during the Spring Festival, Thailand is the tourist season, and tourists need to wait in long queues when applying for visas on arrival or customs clearance, especially when passenger planes land intensively for 1-2 hours or even more than 3 hours. Therefore, if you plan to travel to Thailand and apply for landing visa, Thailand, you must reserve enough time to go through all kinds of formalities.
