China's Bold Plan Reshapes Global Tourism

China develops high-grade tourism products and enhances services to boost its sector through the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). The strategy emphasizes foreigner-friendly policies, including visa-free entry for visitors from 76 countries and transit options for 55 more, driving a 48.3% surge in inbound visits from July to September. Immersive experiences blend culture, technology, and nature, like Wuhan's East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden with digital guides and robot assistants.
