However, at the same time, some countries have tightened their entry policies for China outbound passengers amid controversy. However, experts from many countries pointed out that it is meaningless to impose entry restrictions on China tourists. "The potential to hinder consumption is certain." Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics of China Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times reporter that from an economic point of view, China, as the second largest economy in the world, is an important engine of global economic growth, and the new regulations on China tourists' epidemic prevention introduced by some countries will hinder China from releasing its consumption potential to the global market.

On the evening of February 26th, 65438, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council released the Overall Plan of B and B Management for novel coronavirus Infection. Since June 5438+October 8, 2023/KLOC-0, novel coronavirus has been treated with "Class B tube". It is required to restore China citizens' outbound tourism in an orderly manner according to the international epidemic situation and various service guarantee capabilities.

Among them, it is proposed to optimize the management of Chinese and foreign personnel exchanges and cancel the nucleic acid detection and centralized isolation of all personnel after entry. If the health declaration is normal and the routine quarantine at the customs port is normal, it can be released to the public. Cancel the number control measures of international passenger flights such as "five ones" and load factor restrictions.

12 On February 27th, the National Immigration Bureau issued an announcement, and the National Immigration Bureau optimized the exit-entry management policies and measures from June 8th, 2023. One of the most important items is the orderly resumption of the acceptance and approval of ordinary passport applications for China citizens to travel abroad on business and visit relatives and friends, and the resumption of mainland residents' travel and business endorsements to Hong Kong.

People are very happy that they can finally travel abroad.

Wave goodbye to the winter of 2022. What is your first stop in 2023?

Search soared in an instant.

After the news of "Class B management" was released, the search volume of overseas popular destinations on many travel platforms increased. According to the data of major travel platforms, in a short time after the news was released, the instantaneous search volume of international air tickets and the search volume of overseas popular destinations increased by 8- 10 times year-on-year.

There is an obvious phenomenon on major platforms, that is, the search volume of outbound air tickets, overseas hotels and inbound flights has reached the peak in three years.

In many outbound destinations that were popular before the epidemic, the search popularity began to increase significantly during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger in 2023. According to Ctrip data, China, Macau, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and the United Kingdom have become the top ten destinations with the fastest growth in search volume. At the same time, the search volume related to outbound travel and group tour products during the Spring Festival also began to soar, with a maximum of six times.

According to the data of Tongcheng tourism platform, after the news was released, the instantaneous search volume of international air tickets on the whole platform increased by 850%; Visa search volume increased by 10 times. The top three overseas destinations that China tourists are most concerned about are: Japan, South Korea and Thailand. The most popular destinations for outbound flights are Bangkok, Tokyo, Seoul, Los Angeles and Singapore. The main search users for outbound travel are from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Insiders pointed out that the adjustment of entry and exit policies is conducive to the orderly recovery of international flights, and the number of entry and exit passengers will pick up in the short term. With the gradual normalization of the relationship between supply and demand of inbound and outbound air tickets, the overall price of international air tickets will gradually decrease. Compared with the average price before the epidemic, the international air ticket price is still at a high level, and it will take some time for the international flights as a whole to return to normal level. For routes with large flights, such as Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, ticket prices may rise. With the implementation of the policy and the recovery of airlines' operational capacity, the summer of 2023 may usher in the peak of entry and exit.

The policies of different countries vary greatly.

The world needs tourists from China.

On the afternoon of February 27th, 65438 released by the Immigration Bureau, the official Weibo of the French Embassy in China updated the news, welcoming French tourists to visit China.

Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio announced that since February 30th, 65438, the epidemic prevention measures for entry from China will be strengthened, and Japan will conduct entry inspection for all people who have traveled to Japan from Chinese mainland and have been to China within seven days.

Kishida fumio said that people who test positive for COVID-19 virus should be quarantined for 7 days if they have symptoms. Asymptomatic patients were isolated for 5 days. Accommodation, meals and other expenses during the isolation period are borne by the Japanese side, and individuals do not need to pay.

At present, the Japanese government has limited the airports that accept immigrants from China to Tokyo Narita International Airport, Tokyo Haneda International Airport, Osaka Kansai International Airport and Nagoya Central International Airport. In the near future, no new routes and flights will be approved between China and Japan.

The Japanese government also indicated that it would strictly analyze the samples of all immigrants from China who were diagnosed as positive to prevent the introduction of new mutated viruses.

It must be emphasized that this temporary emergency control measure of the Japanese government is not only aimed at China people, but also at Japanese and other foreigners in China.

Xu Jingbo, president of Japan Asia News Agency, wrote in his official WeChat account "Quiet Talk about Japan" that before going to Japan, no matter what visa you hold, you must prepare a certificate of completion of three doses of vaccination or a 72-hour negative nucleic acid test report issued by a medical institution, either of which, but the certificate and test report must be in English or Japanese, and pure Chinese is not acceptable.

In addition, after arriving at the Japanese airport, I was asked by the Japanese quarantine department to queue up for nucleic acid testing, usually spitting into a small cup. After vomiting, you need to sit in a special hall and wait for the result. It usually takes 3-4 hours before and after getting off the plane and getting the nucleic acid test results.

Once tested as "positive", Japanese quarantine personnel will arrange to go to the isolation hotel designated by the government near the airport for isolation. If you need to buy goods on your behalf during the quarantine period, you should pay in cash. So you need to prepare some yen cash in advance.

After the quarantine is completed, the quarantine department will send you back to the airport again, and then you can leave freely and continue your journey in Japan.

In addition to Japanese, many countries have recently started to require nucleic acid inspection for passengers from China.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India recently announced that international travelers from Chinese mainland, Hongkong, China, Japan, Thailand and South Korea must carry RT-PCR test reports when they go to India, and those who are found to have symptoms of coronavirus pneumonia-19 or who are positive will be quarantined when they arrive in India.

On the other hand, the Korean CDC listed China in the list of "Key Quarantine Countries" on June 5438+February 65438+June 6.

ViaggiareSicuri, the website of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, reported that from 65438+February 24th, all passengers entering COVID-19 from China will be tested for nucleic acid. The policy is temporarily implemented until 65438+20231October 30, and will be re-evaluated after its expiration.

No matter how the policies of various countries change, it is obvious that China people's enthusiasm for outbound travel has been irrepressible.

Ctrip visa data shows that since February 7th, 65438, the number of overseas visa applications has increased by over 12 times year-on-year, and Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries have higher visa applications.

Several embassies abroad have adjusted their prevention and control measures in China.

On February 27th, 65438, the State Council issued the Notice on the Interim Measures for Dealing with the Prevention and Control Mechanism of Infection in novel coronavirus, which introduced measures from six aspects: remote inspection, entry quarantine, international passenger flights, visas for coming to China, port operation and entry and exit tourism.

At the far-end detection level, from June 5438+1October 8, 2023, people who came to China were tested for nucleic acid 48 hours before leaving the country. Those who were negative could come to China without applying for a health code from China embassies and consulates abroad, and the results were filled in the customs health declaration card. If it is positive, the relevant personnel should come to China after turning negative.

After the notice was issued, according to incomplete statistics, more than 20 China embassies abroad issued new notices to adjust the prevention and control measures in China.

The Embassy of China in the United States issued the Note on Adjusting the Remote Prevention and Control Measures for Passengers in the United States. Since June 5438+1October 8, 2023, the China Municipal Government has implemented the Interim Measures for the Exchange of Chinese and Foreign Personnel after novel coronavirus was infected with Class B B Tube. According to relevant notification requirements, passengers departing from the United States for China still need to undergo nucleic acid testing 48 hours before departure, and those with negative results can go to China. If it is positive, the relevant personnel must go to China after turning negative. Passengers going to China do not need to apply for a health code from the China Embassy or Consulate in the United States before departure. Passengers going to China need to fill in the nucleic acid test results within 48 hours before boarding in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the National Entry-Exit Health Declaration Card.

In addition, full-time nucleic acid testing will no longer be implemented after entry. Customs health declaration is normal, customs port routine quarantine is normal, and it can enter the society. Persons with abnormal health declaration or symptoms such as fever shall be tested by the customs for antigen. If the result is positive, you can take it home, house isolation or take care of yourself. If the result is negative, the customs will carry out routine quarantine according to laws and regulations.

The Embassy of China in Japan issued the Notice on Optimizing and Adjusting Relevant Measures for China's Exit Inspection.
