BEIJING: Hotels in China that currently cater only to locals are worried that a recent rule change that stops them from turning away foreigners will mean more tedious processes, even as they welcome the potential new business.
Operators of hotels are no longer allowed to refuse overseas visitors due to a lack of “foreign accommodation qualification”, the Chinese government said in a notice on its website on May 24.
