China will welcome a wave of inbound tourism during the Spring Festival
According to the website of Hong Kong's South China Morning Post on January 3, due to China's measures such as expanding the scope of visa free countries to attract international tourists and revitalize the tourism industry, it is expected that the number of foreign tourists coming to China will significantly increase during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday
According to data from Ctrip platform, the number of foreign tourist travel orders to China during this year's Spring Festival holiday (January 28th to February 4th) increased by over 200% year-on-year
The order volume of South Korean tourists increased by 452% year-on-year, and tourists from Singapore, Japan, and the United States also accounted for a high proportion among foreign tourists coming to China
The platform said in a statement: "China's pilot visa free policy for South Korea has attracted a large number of South Korean tourists to travel to Harbin, Chengdu, Shanghai and other places."
In addition, according to the data of the National Migration Administration of China, during the New Year's Day holiday in 2025, the number of foreigners entering and leaving the country reached 185000, an increase of 33.6% over the same period in 2024
According to reports, Shanghai is one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. In 2024, the Shanghai Border Inspection Station inspected a total of 4.56 million foreign personnel entering the country, which is twice as many as in 2023. Among them, the number of visa free foreign personnel entering the country reached 1.67 million, accounting for about 37%
The top five visa free countries in terms of the number of foreigners coming to Shanghai are South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Australia and Germany
According to the data of Beijing Frontier Inspection Station, 920000 foreigners will apply for visa free entry at Beijing ports in 2024, nearly five times that of the same period in 2023
According to reports, China will implement a 15 day visa free entry policy for individuals holding ordinary passports from six countries, including France, Germany, and Malaysia, who come to China for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, and transit by the end of 2023
In 2024, China gradually expanded the scope of visa free countries and visa free stay periods. Currently, holders of ordinary passports from nearly 40 countries can stay in China visa free for up to 30 days
On December 17, 2024, the National Migration Administration of China announced that qualified personnel from 54 countries (including the United States, the world's largest economy not included in the visa free list by China), who transit from China to a third country (region), can come to China visa free from any of the 60 ports open to the outside world in 24 provinces (regions, cities), and stay in the specified area for no more than 240 hours
It was also reported on January 4 by Taiwan's United News Network that many South Korean tourists went to the mainland, and many chose Shanghai as their first stop, after the Chinese Mainland tried out visa free policies for ordinary passport holders in 9 countries, including South Korea, in November 2024. Discussions such as "Koreans are everywhere in Shanghai" and "Koreans come to Shanghai for weekends" appeared on the mainland social platform. This wave of South Korean travel to Shanghai is characterized by youth and weekend short trips
According to reports, Associate Professor Liu Deyan from the School of Tourism at Shanghai Normal University pointed out that there are many flights from South Korea to Shanghai, with short distances and cheap prices. The average consumption level of South Korean tourists is relatively high, and the low travel expenses also reduce travel costs. Tourists can unleash more consumption potential in areas such as hotels, restaurants, and shopping
According to reports, many South Korean tourists choose Shanghai as their first stop. According to data from travel platform Ctrip, since the implementation of China's visa free policy for South Korea, the number of inbound South Korean tourist orders has increased by over 150%, with popular cities including Shanghai, Qingdao, and Beijing. Among them, the number of inbound South Korean tourist orders in Shanghai has increased by over 180%. According to reports, a South Korean tourist said that the mainland's visa free policy for South Korea is an important factor in attracting them to travel to China, and Shanghai, which is closer to South Korea, has become the first choice for many people to travel to mainland China
The travel agency "Changyou Zhonghan" located in Myeongdong, Seoul has recently seen a boost in business as a result. President Cui Zailong revealed that after the release of the visa free policy, the order volume in December 2024 will be five times that of before the policy was released
