This year’s National Day holiday witnessed a remarkable increase in cross-border travel, making Xinjiang a go-to destination for many visitors. What do you attribute this surge to?
Well, the thanks go to some really convenient customs procedures and an array of visa-exempt policies that have made traveling easier than ever. Can you share some statistics that highlight this trend?
Absolutely! According to the Xinjiang Entry-Exit Border Inspection General Station, by 5 PM on October 7, we saw over 48,000 individuals screened at various ports, which is a striking 76.95% increase from last year. The number of transportation vehicles checked also climbed to 17,400, marking a 62% rise. Are there specific ports that are particularly bustling?
Yes, indeed! Ports like Urumqi and Horgos have experienced a significant influx of travelers. What measures have you put in place to accommodate this growing number of visitors?
To ensure both safety and efficiency at customs, we’ve deployed adequate police personnel across all ports and opened multiple inspection channels. These efforts are all geared toward enhancing the overall travel experience for our visitors.
