Starting in 2016, new visitor visas for tourists from China will be valid in the UK for 2 years, which is 4 times the usual 6 month limit for standard visitor visas. This initiative will deliver a major boost to London´s tourism sector. There are also plans to introduce a new 10 year multiple entry visit visa for Chinese tourists at no extra cost.
The economic benefits for London´s tourism economy are expected to be significant. Over the past five years (2009-2014), the number of Chinese visitors coming to London has risen by 112 %. Spending over the same period has risen by 167 % and forecasts for the next 8 years from Oxford Economics anticipate additional growth of 77 %
