Say goodbye to travel headaches! 🎒✨ At the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), CGTN’s dynamic duo XINQI—Séan Doherty and Emma Ho—unveiled exciting new ways for foreign visitors to navigate China’s famously digital-first economy. No more currency exchange stress or cash dependency—just seamless, tech-driven adventures! 🌐📱
From mobile payment integrations to traveler-friendly apps, China is rolling out upgrades that let globetrotters tap into services like Alipay and WeChat Pay with ease. 💸🚖 “Gone are the days of fumbling with cash,” says Séan. “These upgrades are a total game-changer—like having a digital concierge in your pocket!”
Emma adds, “Imagine booking a rickshaw ride, grabbing bubble tea, or snagging tickets to the Great Wall—all with a quick scan. It’s about making China’s rich culture accessible to everyone.” 🏯🧋
This push aligns with China’s broader goals to boost tourism and cross-cultural exchanges. With over 55 million international visitors in 2023, these cashless solutions could redefine travel in Asia’s largest economy. 📈🌏
