Chinese tourism to Sarajevo surges amid strengthening bilateral ties

July 08, 2025


Abstract : Sarajevo received over 11,600 Chinese tourist visits in May, marking a 28.7 percent increase year-on-year, according to data released Monday by the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) national statistics agency.

SARAJEVO, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Sarajevo received over 11,600 Chinese tourist visits in May, marking a 28.7 percent increase year-on-year, according to data released Monday by the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) national statistics agency.

During the same period, the number of overnight stays by Chinese tourists in the capital exceeded 13,200, up 19 percent from May 2024.

The growth comes as China and BiH celebrate the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties in 2025. This year also marks the eighth anniversary of a mutual visa exemption policy between the two countries. The agreement, effective since May 29, 2018, allows ordinary passport holders to stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa.

Chinese tourists ranked among the top five contributors to foreign overnight stays in April, alongside visitors from Serbia, Türkiye, and Croatia.
