Summer inbound tourism is heating up, the effectiveness of the departure tax refund "buy now, refund now" service measures is significant.

This summer, with the facilitation of visa policies and widespread dissemination of social media, an increasing number of foreign tourists are coming to China for tourism, with the radius expanding and the length of stay lengthening as significant characteristics. In addition, the nationwide promotion of the "buy now, refund immediately" service for outbound tax refunds has achieved significant results this year, shifting from "touring China" to "shopping in China", strengthening the satisfaction of foreign tourists. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism stated that they will encourage and guide tourist attractions, resorts, cultural and museum venues in areas where foreign tourists gather to become registered outbound tax refund stores for unique cultural products, optimize the supply of tax refund goods and services, and further strengthen work coordination and information sharing in promoting convenient payment and tax refunds for inbound tourism, enhancing the level of payment and tax refund convenience, and promoting the healthy development of inbound tourism.
