“I used to transfer from Beijing or Hong Kong. This time, I learned about Nanjing cuisine on social platforms before taking the flight and chose to transfer from Nanjing in a hope to taste local food,” said Ms. Yu, a foreign passenger who was transferring to Sydney at Nanjing.

It is reported that, in order to facilitate consumption, ongoing efforts have been made to facilitate the departure tax refund policy at ports. Since the beginning of this year, 57 applications for tax refunds on purchases made by overseas visitors have been processed, involving an amount of 1.522 million yuan. The first pilot program of “Instant Tax Refund Upon Purchase” for overseas travelers in Jiangsu Province was launched at Deji Plaza at the end of last year.
