Beijing, China — August 8, 2025
In short: China’s AI-driven smart travel platform is set to streamline immigration and local experiences for 150 million international visitors in 2025.
TravelTech China has launched an AI-powered smart travel platform designed to simplify every aspect of international travel to China, from visa processing to navigating street food markets. According to the company, the platform integrates real-time public data to provide travelers with personalized itineraries, language translation, and contactless payment options at local merchants. The system is expected to enhance the visitor experience by reducing wait times at immigration checkpoints and offering seamless access to local services.
This initiative falls under the broader category of smart travel solutions, which aim to leverage technology to improve the travel experience. While similar programs exist in other major travel destinations, China’s approach is notable for its integration of public data sources and its ambitious target of serving 150 million international arrivals by 2025. The platform is expected to compete with existing services like Visa-free travel programs and other smart travel apps currently available in the market.
For Travel Management Companies (TMCs) managing corporate accounts, this platform offers a significant opportunity to enhance the travel experience for their clients. By integrating with the AI-driven system, TMCs can provide their corporate clients with streamlined visa processes and real-time local insights, potentially increasing client satisfaction and loyalty. Airport lounge operators in China should also prepare to offer integrated services through the platform, ensuring travelers have a seamless transition from arrival to exploration.
