China unveiled a plan to boost tourism and attract more foreign visitors by resuming visa waiver policies and facilitating travel and payments as the country begins the “Golden Week” holiday of National Day.
The plan was published on the website of the Chinese Cabinet.
This came at a time when travelers are expected to make almost 900 million trips to mainland China during the official National Day holiday on October 1.
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival overlaps with the National Day holiday, making it a longer holiday than usual and giving people more time to travel.
