The Chinese government has launched as number of concessionary measures to boost the country’s cruise business. At a summit held recently in Hainan province the Government announced the streamlining of customs procedures for cruise passengers and legitimising local cruises business, in an effort to promote the industry.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications said that the department would strictly control the safety and technical standards of local cruise operators. It would also open up the local market to foreign cruise lines, as well as regulating their agencies. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Security said it would give a customs waiver procedure for foreign cruise passengers, if they did not make a landing. Chinese customs said that arrival and departure procedures would be simplified with the introduction of electronic documents for those passengers who enter the country.
