According to the National Immigration Administration (NIA) on Friday, China is poised to see a significant increase in both inbound and outbound trips during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. The NIA has implemented special arrangements to ensure safe, efficient, and smooth exit-entry services at ports throughout the holiday period.
The NIA projects that there will be an average of 1.8 million passenger trips per day during this time, reflecting a 21.9 percent rise compared to last year. Peaks in both inbound and outbound travel are expected at exit-entry ports on September 14 and 17.
Major international airports are gearing up for higher passenger volumes. Beijing Capital International Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport are preparing to manage daily entry and exit traffic of 42,000, 95,000, 42,000, and 16,000 trips, respectively. Furthermore, passenger activity at land ports near Hong Kong and Macao is also anticipated to increase.
In light of this, the NIA has directed border inspection authorities at all levels across China to enhance monitoring of traveler volumes and port operations, ensuring timely updates for travelers. Adequate staffing and security protocols are necessary to maintain customs processing times under 30 minutes.
Border inspection authorities are additionally tasked with coordinating with joint inspection units at ports and relevant local departments to effectively manage traveler flow and provide support during peak periods. Travelers are encouraged to stay informed regarding port traffic and customs clearance conditions, as well as to confirm their documents prior to travel.
