>>2045047> the number of non-chinese travelers visiting PRC cratered after covid and never recovered like for most countries (the reasons for which are a whole different discussion).That’s not what I’m reading online.
“ There are eight additional new countries that have received visa-free access from China. Among them are Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Estonia, and Latvia.
As reported by Euronews, tourists from those countries, as well as Japan, can enter China visa-free from November 30, 2024, until December 31, 2025. Previously, passport holders from Andorra, Finland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovakia, and Norway were granted a 30-day visa-free stay in China.
Meanwhile, Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Portugal, and Slovenia were given access in October. Much earlier in July, tourists from Poland, Australia, and New Zealand were also granted visa-free access to China until the end of 2025. In total, there are 38 European countries that have received visa-free access to China.”
And Chinese tourism to Europe also increased last year.
