Unveiling China's Charm: GDCTS's New Inbound Tourism Products

In 2024, under the dual effects of the intensive release of visa-free policy dividends and the accelerated recovery of economic and trade activities, China's inbound tourism market continues to heat up.

As a leading enterprise in China's tourism service industry, Guangdong China Travel Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “GDCTS”) is seizing and taking opportunities to accelerate the layout of inbound tourism business. It is based on the core needs of foreign tourists, integrating resources from catering, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment to carefully develop a series of inbound tourism routes, allowing foreign tourists to deeply experience the unique regional charm and profound cultural heritage of China.

Relevant data shows that among the popular destinations for foreign tourists flying in China, Guangzhou ranks first. At the same time, Guangzhou has also made it onto the list of "Good City" recommended by foreign media as a travel destination.

As an international metropolis, Guangzhou is an important hub for domestic and international flights, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, where it is located, is increasingly attractive to foreign tourists with its unique Lingnan culture, rich tourism resources, and comprehensive service measures.

If you want to deeply explore the vibrant vitality of the Greater Bay Area and experience the integration of tradition and innovation, you can choose GDCTS's "Guangzhou & Foshan 8-day Tour".

Visit the Yongqing Fang Intangible Cultural Heritage district, stroll through the luxury shopping landmark Tianhe Road business district, take a night cruise on the Pearl River to see the bright lights reflecting on the rippling water, climb the Guangzhou Tower that has won multiple Guinness World Records to overlook the city's beautiful scenery, and arrive at the fragrant world of HABITAT CREEK to experience the "Three-Step Fragrance Welcoming Ceremony", learn to make sachets and Hanfu culture.

There is plenty to see, visit, and shop for, ensuring a fulfilling journey.

From the magnificent Great Wall, the culturally rich Forbidden City in Beijing, the majestic Terracotta Army of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, the steep and beautiful Huashan, the gentle and soft West Lake in Hangzhou, the simple and elegant Suzhou gardens, to the bustling Bund in Shanghai.

Each place is a colorful feast of beautiful scenery and culture. Whether you are a history enthusiast who seeks to explore ancient and secluded places, a nature-loving photographer, or a trendsetter who is always at the forefront of fashion, you can find what you are looking for in the vast land of China.

It is reported that among the series of visa-free policies, the 144-Hour Visa-Free Transit Policy is popular among foreign tourists.

Currently, China has 34 open ports that implement a 144-Hour Visa-Free Transit Policy for personnel from 54 countries.

Eligible foreign tourists holding valid international travel documents and confirmed tickets with a specific date and seat for transit to a third country (region) can apply for a visa-free transit entry at the entry-exit border inspection authorities of the cities implementing the transit visa-free policy in China.

The entry-exit border inspection authorities will handle temporary entry procedures for them, and the visa-free stay time starts from midnight the day after entry.

GDCTS's active deployment in the inbound tourism business reflects its enthusiasm and determination to welcome foreign tourists.

In the past six months, GDCTS has successfully hosted several large inbound tourism groups. Firstly, under the guidance of the Consulate General of Tanzania in Guangzhou, we successfully organized the Arusha St. Patrick's Trust School's study tour in Guangzhou. This event not only deepened cultural exchanges between China and Tanzania but also provided the students with an unforgettable learning experience.

Subsequently, GDCTS also assisted the Guizhou Tourism Investment International Culture Co., LTD in organizing foreign travel merchants to visit Libo for an inspection tour. This tour showcased the rich tourism resources and unique ethnic culture of Guizhou, further expanding our inbound tourism market.

In the future, GDCTS will strengthen the study of foreign tourist profiles, develop more themed and innovative inbound tourism routes, expand cooperation with other tourism destinations, and jointly create cross-regional tourism products with surrounding cities.

It will fully leverage the radiating and driving effect of the Greater Bay Area, open a window to dialogue with the world, tell Chinese "good stories", and send out the "good voice" of tourism development in the Greater Bay Area, ensuring that every foreign tourist feels at home and has a memorable trip.
