Tourists Hardly Get Visa to China During Beijing Olympics Period

2009-11-10

Chinese government tightens visa requirements in recent months as the Beijing Summer Olympics is approaching. Though it's a big international event, China is making it harder for foreigner to get into the country out of security purposes. That's one of the reasons why tourism is down in China for overseas tourists. Chinese consulates in other countries began demanding proof of round-trip air tickets and confirmations from the hotels where they were planning to stay. A simple itinerary wasn't enough. The Olympics is supposed to be a good chance for Beijing, but tourism is actually down for the time being. According to statistics, the number of visitors in June fell by nearly 20 percent from the same time last year, some of the hotels cut their rates and some tour guides are also affected.
