From the Great Wall and the Forbidden City to Sichuan's pandas and the stunning Three Gorges, China boasts a wealth of iconic attractions. With recent visa policy relaxations, these renowned sites—along with lesser-known treasures—are now more accessible to global travelers. China has been steadily improving its visa-free and visa-on-arrival options to simplify entry for visitors worldwide. But what effect have these changes had on inbound tourism? And more significantly, how does tourism contribute to cultural exchange and strengthening connections between people?

Join us for this episode of "Embracing Cultures", China Daily's senior foreign correspondent Erik Nilsson and host Hu Zhe will engage with seasoned travel industry insiders, both in inbound and outbound tourism sectors, as well as a social medial influencer from Spain, to discuss how the eased visa policies benefit China's inbound tourism and tourism's role in breaking stereotypes and deepening mutual understanding between people.

Guests:
Zhou Xiaoguang, President of China Odyssey Tours
Noel Su Nuoyi，Social media influencer
