Ecuador decided to eliminate the visa requirement for Chinese
citizens traveling within 90 days as tourists in this South
American country, the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry said on
Thursday.
The decision, taken on behalf of Ecuadoran President Rafael
Correa, was aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and
promoting tourism and it will become effective as of February
15.
The presidential decision is based on Ecuador's new migration
policy in efforts to improve integration, trade and tourism
conditions between Ecuador and the rest of the world.
