Ctrip data shows that Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Kunming and Xi'an are the most popular destinations for foreign tourists on the first day of the National Day holiday.

In terms of source areas, the top 10 countries with the highest increase in foreign tourists during the National Day holiday are: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Spain, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, South Korea, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore.
The resurgence of inbound tourism is inseparable from the continuous optimization of the visa-free policy environment.
On the one hand, entry is more convenient. Since December 17 last year, China has extended the transit visa-free period from 72 hours to 240 hours, and added 21 new transit visa-free personnel to enter and exit ports. This policy adjustment has significantly improved the convenience of inbound tourism.
On the other hand, the scope of visa-free countries continues to expand.Since the beginning of this year, my country has introduced a new visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Russia. nbsp;
Faced with the flow of inbound tourists brought by the visa-free policy, various regions are also constantly creating and cultivating cultural and tourism consumption scenarios with local characteristics to enhance their attractiveness to international tourists.
For example, during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays,Hangzhou has created new activities including Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing and traditional Chinese medicine health experience to attract overseas tourists to participate. On September 29, Nanjing City Culture and Tourism Bureau took the lead in integrating core resources such as aviation, transportation, scenic spots, and catering, and joined forces with China Eastern Airlines Jiangsu Company, Nanjing Metro Group, Nanjing Tourism Group, 9 hot tourist attractions, Nanjing Big Brands, etc. to launch the "Nanjing Inbound Tourism PASS Card."
The State Administration of Foreign Exchange said that looking forward to the future, driven by various favorable policies, the consumption potential of the travel market will be further released, the attractiveness of "China Tourism" will continue to increase, and cross-border tourism revenue is expected to maintain steady growth.
In order to enhance the experience of foreign tourists in China, various platforms have also demonstrated their "unique skills".
On September 17, under the guidance of the People's Bank of China and China Payment and Clearing Association, Alipay and Ant International, a subsidiaryof Ant Group,became the first batch of pilot institutions to participate in the cross-border QR code unified gateway business.A number of new collaborations supported by the unified cross-border QR code gateway are expected to be implemented soon. This move is expected to help more overseas business travelers "travel all over China with one wallet," prosper the tourism economy, and promote economic and cultural exchanges.
According to Wang Ling, the relevant person in charge of Ant Group, Alipaycurrentlysupports 16 languages, and the usage scenarios have also been expanded beyond payment.
Wang Ling said: "In addition to payment services, inbound tourists can alsoclick and usevarious travel services on the Alipay homepage, such as 'touch' tax refunds, translation, taxi rides, hotel reservations, purchase attractions tickets, order takeout, take buses and subways, checkexchange rates,etc."
Ctrip uses AI technology to empower hotels and actively helps hotels improve their reception capabilities and service experience for foreign tourists. For example, it uses technology to solve language communication problems and significantly shortens the processing time for foreign tourists 'consultation needs. In addition, Ctrip's overseas platform has opened online ticket purchasing services in more than 10,000 scenic spots in the United Nations, and has set up nearly 900 international ticket machines in 115 scenic spots such as the Badaling Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, supporting multi-lingual interfaces and multiple international payment methods.

Dai Bin, president of China Tourism Research Institute, said that with the comprehensive efforts of visas, payments, consumption, products and services, my country's inbound tourism has begun to enter a new stage of rapid growth and high-quality development.
