The numbers of inbound travelers to China have not increased as much as was expected a few years back. It is pegged at only 14 million in sharp contrast to the 62 million Chinese outbound travelers. Thus, the Chinese authorities few years back took the step of easing visa regulations for some countries to certain parts of the country such as at Shanghai. Now, a six-day Visa on Arrival system has been approved for the capital Beijing for visitors from 53 countries. These countries are mainly from the European Union or other developed ones like USA, Canada, Australia and Japan. The authorities hope this move will boost travel jobs in an otherwise stagnating segment of the economy.
