China Calls for Easier Travel Across APEC

China has urged APEC economies to reduce travel barriers and make cross-border movement simpler for visitors. The message was shared during the APEC Tourism Ministers’ Meeting in Macao, where tourism leaders discussed ways to strengthen regional travel cooperation.

China highlighted the need for smoother visa processes, easier customs clearance, better payment access and improved tax refund services for tourists. These steps are aimed at making travel more convenient and encouraging more people to visit destinations across the Asia-Pacific region.

For the travel industry, this push is important because modern travellers now expect hassle-free entry, digital convenience and seamless services. If implemented well, easier travel rules could boost tourism, support airlines and hotels, and create more business opportunities for tour operators, MICE planners and destination partners across the region.
