In the first quarter of 2025, Guangzhou received 1.187 million inbound overnight tourists, up 11.7% year on year. Among them, the number of overnight foreign visitors to Guangzhou reached 498,000, marking a 31.0% increase.

According to statistics, from January 1st to May 22nd, 2025, more than 480,000 foreign nationals entered China visa-free through Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, a year-on-year increase of 141%. The total number of inbound and outbound foreign travelers exceeded 2.23 million, up 42% year on year. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Australia, and Singapore remained the main source countries of overseas visitors.

To enhance the experience for inbound travelers, Baiyun International Airport has fully upgraded its 240-hour visa-free transit policy. Since the beginning of the year, the airport has added or resumed six regular international passenger routes, introduced two new international airlines, and expanded to two more global destinations, further strengthening its international route network.

Cultural landmarks such as the new Guangzhou Cultural Center and the new Guangzhou Art Museum have become popular check-in spots among inbound tourists. The cultural brand "Guangzhou Gift" turns the city's culinary charm into tangible cultural keepsakes with souvenirs like Cantonese dim sum and Canton porcelain.

From May 15th to 17th, the 33rd Guangzhou International Travel Fair was held at the Canton Fair Complex in Pazhou, attracting over 1,000 tourism destinations and organizations from 55 countries and regions, further reinforcing Guangzhou's position in the global tourism market.

Guangzhou will also work to improve its tax refund services for departing travelers, promote the effective implementation of the "immediate tax refund upon purchase" policy, optimize the layout of tax refund shops, and expand the range of eligible products to boost shopping consumption among foreign tourists.
