Not only Guangzhou has benefited from this policy, but Henan has also seen a surge in the number of foreign tourists. In the Longmen Grottoes scenic area in Luoyang, Henan, the number of foreign tourists increased by an astonishing 303% compared with the same period last year. Among them, foreign tourists who landed directly in Henan accounted for a large proportion. This growth trend is inseparable from the continued release of the dividends of the transit visa exemption policy. According to statistics, in the first five months of this year, more than 31,700 foreign tourists entered from Zhengzhou air ports, doubling year-on-year. Zhengzhou Airport's international routes also ushered in a substantial Aumento dos passageiros de entrada e saída, e o número cumulativo de passageiros de entrada e saída em muitas rotas internacionais aumentou 164% ano a ano.
In order to further attract foreign tourists, an online travel platform launched nearly 10,000 air ticket discount coupons in Henan. When searching for flights from abroad to Zhengzhou, users can enjoy a ticket subsidy of up to 200 yuan. This move undoubtedly provides more benefits and convenience for foreign tourists and further promotes the development of inbound tourism in Henan .

The implementation of the 240-hour transit visa exemption policy not only provides more convenience and choices for foreign tourists, but also injects new vitality into the development of China's tourism industry. In the future, with the continuous improvement and promotion of policies, I believe that more foreign tourists will choose to travel to China and experience China's culture and charm.
