China is rolling out the red carpet for global travelers! 🇨🇳 Following last week’s announcement adding New Zealand to its visa-free list, Australia has now joined the party, signaling a major push to revitalize tourism and cultural exchange. 🎉
Searches for China-related travel on platforms like Trip.com skyrocketed by 65% overnight in New Zealand, while bookings for flights to New Zealand from the Chinese mainland are already doubling year-on-year. 🚀 \"This summer is looking like a golden ticket for both sides,\" says Xiao Peng, a Qunar travel analyst. \"Auckland, Queenstown, Christchurch—these spots are blowing up with Chinese travelers.\" 🏔️🏙️
With airfare bookings tripling for cities like Wellington and tourism products selling out fast, experts predict a full rebound to pre-pandemic travel levels by August. 🌞 Whether you’re chasing adventure in Queenstown or exploring Beijing’s hutongs, the message is clear: borders are open, and wanderlust is back. ✨
