China has witnessed a significant surge in entry and exit trips in 2024, with border inspection agencies across the country recording 610 million entries and exits. This figure marks a 43.9-percent increase over the previous year, according to statistics released by the National Immigration Administration on Tuesday.
The substantial rise reflects the Chinese mainland’s ongoing recovery and the revitalization of international travel and exchanges. The data indicates a strong rebound in business activities, tourism, and cultural interactions between China and the rest of the world.
The National Immigration Administration attributes the surge to eased travel restrictions and improved visa policies, which have facilitated smoother movement for both residents and international visitors. Enhanced efficiency at border checkpoints has also contributed to the increased flow of people.
This upward trend underscores China’s expanding role in global connectivity and highlights the growing interest in the country as a destination for business and leisure. Analysts suggest that the continued growth in international travel will bolster economic development and foster stronger global ties.
