China will simplify the visa application process for tourists from the United States as part of its efforts to step up interactions between people from the two countries.
Beijing has also been seeking to woo more international visitors as part of its wider efforts to boost its sluggish economic recovery.
Starting from January 1, those applying for tourist visas within the US will no longer need to submit proof they have a round-trip air ticket and hotel reservation, as well as their itinerary or a letter of invitation, according to a notice published on the website of the Chinese embassy in Washington on Friday.
