BEIJING, April 18 (Xinhua) – Journalist Guo Chao-kai reports that the China National Immigration Administration (CNI) held a routine press conference in Beijing on April 18, revealing the latest data on foreign visits to China in the first quarter of 2024.

With the further relaxation of entry policies and the gradual resumption of international flights, a growing number of foreigners are choosing to visit China for tourism, business exchanges, and work. He vowed that the CNI will continue to optimize its services to ensure smooth travel for inbound foreigners while strictly adhering to防疫 regulations to safeguard national security and public health.

As international conferences, exhibitions, and events resume, China is gradually reclaiming its position as a key global destination. The CNI will keep monitoring the fluctuations in foreign visits to China, contributing to a more open and inclusive international environment.
According to statistics, businesspeople, scholars, and technicians constituted a significant portion of Q1 visitors, indicating China’s vibrancy in trade, academic, and technological cooperation. Moreover, with the recovery of the tourism market, there has been a notable rise in leisure tourism and cultural exchange visits.
In the future, China will continue to embrace an open and inclusive policy, offering more convenient entry and exit management services to attract international talent and tourists, thus propelling Sino-foreign exchanges and cooperation to new heights.
