BEIJING (Reuters) - China will expand the list of unilateral visa-free countries and extend the period of visa-free stays, measures issued on Monday by the Chinese government show.

The State Council pledged in the measures to improve policies for inbound tourism.

China will also encourage local governments to roll out measures such as handing out vouchers to boost cultural and tourism consumption, according to the measures.
