Guangzhou to offer free city tour to foreign visitors in transit

China Daily  

Starting later this month, foreign visitors taking advantage of China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy will be offered a complimentary one-day city tour in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, as the city looks to capitalize on the rebound of inbound tourism in the nation. The new service, organized by a major travel agency in Guangzhou, includes a bus tour, an English-speaking guide, sightseeing and a Cantonese dim sum lunch, according to the city's culture, broadcast, television and tourism bureau. China has seen a resurgence in inbound tourism this year, with central and local governments implementing policies to remove major barriers for foreign tourists, including offering them visa-free entry and easier mobile payment options. Providing free one-day tours for transit travelers is a common practice among international air hub cities such as Istanbul, Doha and Dubai, said Zhao Wenzhi, chairman and president of the Guangzhou-based GZL International Travel Service.
