As China today restores fast-lane entry and exit services at all ports, Ctrip expects that more tailored package products will emerge.
From today, Chinese nationals will be allowed to use fast lanes for expedited border inspection on the following travel documents: Chinese ordinary passports, exit-entry permits for travel to and from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, mainland travel permits for Hong Kong and Macau residents, five-year mainland travel permits for Taiwan residents, and multiple entry permits valid for one year, the National Immigration Administration said in a notice.
Lin Zhizhuo, a manager of Ctrip, a Chinese travel service provider, said that the adjusted policies will benefit people who are not employed where they have registered residence, and it will greatly ease the visa application process for tourists to Hong Kong and Macau, according to a report issued by China Daily
The policy of applying for travel permits at any immigration center provides great convenience for tourists, who are not restricted to their place of departure, Lin said.
According to Ctrip, orders for group tours to Hong Kong and Macau rose about 70% in May from April.
