Today, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter asked about the economic output value of China's tourism industry last year, which increased by 9.9%, more than twice the global growth rate; more and more foreign tourists coming to China are changing their way of traveling, upgrading from "sightseeing" to "deep immersion", and moving from "experiencing China" to "integrating into China". In response to this, spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that the latest data shows that the number of foreign visitors entering China without visas in the first quarter of this year has once again increased, with a year-on-year increase of nearly 30%. The real China is far more charming than imagined. The spring and summer tourism season has begun, and more foreign friends are welcome to make good use of the visa-free convenience and immerse themselves in a China that is both ancient and modern.
