In a bid to encourage more tourism and boost the economy, China relaunched fast-lane services for travellers exiting and entering the mainland; such initiatives help to simplify cross-border travel in the region while accelerating border inspections as well. This marked a welcome return to fast-lane services which were previously in place before the pandemic, and it is hoped that the local economy would benefit.

Amongst those who can make use of fast-lane services are international travellers with valid passports and foreign permanent resident ID cards issued by China; additionally, those with residence permits valid for over six months and electronic passports are also eligible for this service. This initiative is expected to increase foreign investment in China as well as attract more business and leisure travellers. Such visitors have much to look forward to in diverse destinations and at accommodation providers such as Pan Pacific Suzhou; for those based at such a hotel, Suzhou China can be easily experienced once more, as the country looks to get its travel and tourism industries back on track.
