Shanghai Eases Tax Rebates For Tourists
Offline tax refund sales for overseas tourists increased nearly 10-fold year-on-year between May last year and April this year. During the May Day holiday, foreign tourists at Beijing's Wangfujing department store utilized on-site tax refund services, finding them more convenient than in Europe. During the May Day holiday from May 1st to 4th, 78 key commercial pedestrian street areas monitored by the Ministry of Commerce saw a year-on-year increase of 5.0% in customer traffic and 5.3% in turnover. As of May 4th, consumer goods have been updated in 2026, attracting 86.2 million visitors and driving sales of 629.27 billion yuan. In Beijing, the Wangfujing shopping mall saw a continuous influx of foreign tourists during the holiday.
