BEIJING, March 20 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry on Friday released measures aimed at expanding consumption by foreign tourists, pledging to grant visa-free entry to more countries and improve visa-free transit policies.
The measures also encourage airlines to offer more discounts on connecting flights with long layovers in China and for local authorities to host more sports events.
