Beijing, October 29 (Xinhua) — China intends to develop its tourism sector by expanding the range of tourism products offered and improving the quality of services. This is stated in proposals for a plan that will guide the country's development over the next five years.
The goals and measures for developing the tourism sector are set out in the Proposals of the CPC Central Committee on the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (2026-2030), which were adopted at the CPC Central Committee plenary session held last week and released on Tuesday.
"Over the past five years, tourism has played an increasingly important strategic role in the country's development," said Dai Bin, director of the China Tourism Academy.
He noted that the proposals, based on the successes in the tourism sector during the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), determine the direction and path of high-quality tourism development in the next five years.
The recommendations also call for efforts to provide more convenient and tailored services to foreigners entering China.
In recent years, China has steadily expanded its visa-free entry policy for foreign tourists. Currently, tourists from 76 countries can enjoy unilateral or reciprocal visa-free travel to China, and citizens of an additional 55 countries can visit China visa-free for up to 10 days when transiting to a third country.
According to official data, from July to September 2025, foreign citizens made 7.246 million visa-free trips to China, an increase of 48.3 percent compared to the same period last year.
In addition, the proposals call for promoting deeper integration of culture and tourism through the active development of cultural tourism. –0–
