(Yicai Global) Sept. 26 -- Belarus will introduce a 30-day visa-free policy for Chinese visitors, Mikhail Portnoi,  the Eurasian country's deputy sport and tourism minister said in a press briefing in its capital city Minsk on Sept. 25.

Chinese people are among the most frequent travelers to Belarus, and offering visa-free entry will expand the country's prospects as a tourist destination going forward, Russia's Sputnik news agency cited Portnoi as saying.

120 million Chinese people visited overseas tourist destinations in 2016, he added.
