Over the past two years, China has gradually introduced mutual visa-exemption agreements with three ASEAN countries -- Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand -- and visa-free travel policies have boosted the people-to-people exchanges between China and ASEAN. This year, the airport has handled nearly 500,000 passengers from ASEAN member states under China's visa-free travel policies, a year-on-year increase of 61.3 percent. Personnel exchanges between China and Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are the most frequent reasons for travel among these passengers, according to local border authorities. As economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN deepens, and as demand for travel to China grows thanks to the country's updated visa policies, the number of routes from the Baiyun airport to ASEAN destinations has increased. Currently, there are over 100 stable weekly passenger routes linking Guangzhou to ASEAN cities.
