Chinese ambassador backs visa perks to boost tourism

[webfact]

 

Han Zhiqiang, the Chinese Ambassador to Thailand, has expressed support for the impending visa privileges aimed towards Chinese tourists.

 

These measures are being considered by both governments, with the intention of bolstering Chinese tourism and investment in their respective countries ahead of the approaching peak season.

 

Han voiced his endorsement during an orientation for the 18th Mandarin for Government Officers Workshop. This event was organised by the Thai-Chinese Cultural Relationship Council (TCCRC) and the King Prajadhipok Institute. Among the attendees was Pol Lt Gen Pitak Jarusombat, who serves as the deputy president of the TCCRC.

 

These visa-related decisions may prove beneficial, as China has observed an influx of tourists following the relaxation of its own immigration measures. Han noted that the number of individuals, particularly Thai citizens, applying for the varied types of Chinese visas has seen a steady climb.
