東南網(wǎng)1月2日廈門訊(本網(wǎng)記者 盧超穎)“我是過境旅客,打算轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)去馬尼拉,知道廈門推出144小時(shí)過境免簽政策,我是第一次來到廈門。這真是太棒了。”美籍旅客BEME STEFAN興奮地說,他通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)了解到廈門空港口岸2019年1月1日起將實(shí)行144小時(shí)過境免簽政策,就計(jì)劃利用免簽時(shí)間游覽廈門,暢游鼓浪嶼、環(huán)島路、惠和石文化園等獨(dú)具廈門風(fēng)情的旅游景點(diǎn)。
據(jù)了解,元旦當(dāng)天有來自美國、韓國等國家的旅客享受144小時(shí)過境免簽政策。同樣當(dāng)天抵達(dá)廈門,享受144小時(shí)過境免簽政策的還有來自韓國的KANG MINSU。她在韓國從事旅行社工作,知道廈門實(shí)施144小時(shí)過境免簽政策的信息后,就和來自新加坡和韓國籍的好友約定來廈門踩線,并將從廈門五通口岸前往金門游覽。
