CCTV News: The port is the most intuitive window to reflect the enthusiasm of international trade. In recent days, with the development of the Canton Fair, the passenger flow at the Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Port has shown a steady growth trend. During the exhibition, the daily average of inbound and outbound passenger flow at the port is expected to reach about 50,000 people.
The entry hall of Baiyun Airport Port is also a must-see for airport passengers around the world to attend the Canton Fair. With the arrival of various international flights, the entire hall is bustling with crowds. Passengers and buyers from all over the world enter here and gather in a flowing and vibrant landscape at the port, just like a "global living room", and people rush to the Canton Fair.
In order to deal with the peak of entry, the Baiyun Border Inspection Station has opened enough inspection channels, including 9 dedicated channels for the Canton Fair, which is an increase from the past. The border inspection department will also dynamically add inspection windows at any time, flexibly adjust the channel layout, and classify and divert peak passenger flow. At the same time, a service team containing 13 foreign language translations was formed to provide one-on-one service.
See the vitality among passenger flow, and look at some new changes in this Canton Fair from the data: According to forecasts, the average daily passenger flow at the port during the exhibition period will reach 50,000, and the peak may exceed 55,000. At the same time, more than half of the incoming foreigners account for more than half of the passenger flow. Among these foreigners, foreigners who entered the country with commercial visas increased by more than 64.6% year-on-year, a huge increase.
The data also indirectly shows that from the past only "a few days of attending the meeting", more and more foreigners may choose to come to the Canton Fair to conduct more and more in-depth business visits, negotiations, cooperation, and even urban cultural and tourism consumption. Economic and trade cooperation can be said to be more active.
For merchants who have not had time to apply for a visa, the 240-hour transit visa-free policy implemented by my country also brings policy dividends. From the past 24 to 72, 144, and then 240 hours, the time for merchants who come to participate in the exhibition will be more relaxed and business travel will be more efficient. In the port temporary entry permit application area, a special window for the Canton Fair has also been specially opened to provide "special person-specific and immediate" services to meet the conditions. The 10-day stay time can not only participate in the exhibition, but also check in to the city, from "passing by in a hurry" to "in-depth experience".
In addition to the highlights of the data, there are also many new changes in the service guarantee of this year's Canton Fair. Intelligent technology is a window to showcase "Made in China". From the time of getting off the plane, people can ask questions to "digital people" through self-service equipment and obtain relevant guidance, policy answers, visa inquiries and other information about participating in the exhibition. This year, the airport has also added 6 self-service certificate applications. Just scan the passport and you can quickly obtain the Canton Fair exhibition certificate.
In terms of travel, airlines have also set up multiple Canton Fair check-in counters in the terminal building to provide exhibitors with "as you can do" check-in services, giving priority to rapid inspections and optimized boarding processes, so as to facilitate global merchants to enter and exit Guangdong smoothly. Mobile people, growing numbers, and refined services are all witnesses of the Canton Fair connecting the world and in-depth cooperation.
