Africa-Press – Mozambique. China on Thursday included Mozambique, Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe in a third batch of destinations to which it will allow group tourism travel.
The decision, announced by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture of the Asian country, covers a total of 82 countries, in addition to the 40 included in the first two batches.
Destinations popular among international travellers, such as the United States and United Kingdom, are now available again for Chinese tourists travelling in organised groups.
In early February, Beijing again allowed group tours to about 20 countries, including destinations such as Thailand or Indonesia.
Portugal was included in the second batch, approved the following month, as well as Brazil, France and Spain.
China, which was the largest source of tourists in the world until the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, kept its borders closed for almost three years as part of its “zero Covid” policy, which was abandoned last December after protests in several cities across the country.
