Wendy Wu Tours has enthusiastically welcomed the chance to reignite travel to destination China, following a landmark decision today by the Chinese government announcing that Australian passport holders can now enjoy visa-free entry into China.
Company founder and China travel pioneer, Wendy Wu, has called the announcement a game-changer for Australian travellers and the tourism industry saying, “As the number one China touring specialist in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, we are thrilled about the opportunities this presents for travellers.
“Today’s announcement is very welcome news. This visa-free policy will make short trips more accessible and straightforward, and we’re positive it will encourage a robust return to destination China for Aussie holidaymakers.
“At Wendy Wu Tours, we have always aimed to make travel as seamless and enjoyable as possible, and this new policy aligns perfectly with our mission. It’s a fantastic, positive update for all Australians dreaming of exploring China’s rich culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes as a holiday experience.”
Following a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra today, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said that China will include Australia in its visa waiver program, in a move signalling a continued warming relation between the two countries.
Premier Li Qiang expressed China’s commitment to enhancing bilateral relations and easing travel restrictions. Indeed, the new visa-free travel policy is aimed squarely at boosting tourism and re-establishing closer ties between the two countries, and while no initial details were provided on how the program would work, a similar announcement in May allowed 12 countries — mainly from Europe but also including Malaysia — to enter China visa-free for up to 15 days for business, tourism or visiting relatives and friends.
It’s a welcome update that will open the destination up following China’s response to the pandemic, which effectively blocked entry to visitors until a gradual reopening to international tourists commenced from 15 March 2023.
Since launching its visa-free policies last year, China’s foreign ministry has shared that the approach has produced a clear effect, making things easier for cross border travellers.
Wendy Wu Tours, with over two decades of experience in the travel industry, stands at the forefront of offering meticulously crafted tours across Asia, including China. The company is renowned for its comprehensive, fully inclusive tour packages that eliminate the usual travel hassles, such as visa applications.

The expansion of visa-free access underscores the importance of the relationship between China and Australia, promoting increased tourism and cultural exchange. Wendy Wu Tours is poised to lead this new wave of travel enthusiasm, offering Australians unrivalled access to China’s wonders through their expertly guided tours.
