Wang Guanhua, press spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics and head of the National Economic Comprehensive Statistics Department, said at the press conference of the State Information Office on the 19th that with the continuous improvement of rural supermarkets, logistics and other facilities, the consumption potential of the county market continued to be unleashed, retail sales of rural consumer goods grew 1.4 percentage points faster than in urban areas in the first three quarters. Rural cultural tourism activities such as autumn viewing, farming and picking, and rice field concerts in small towns continued to heat up, further expanding the new space for rural consumption. At the same time, as the convenience and appeal of Chinese travel continues to rise, travel in China has become a new choice for more and more international tourists. The number of visa-free entry for foreigners in January-August increased by 26.8% year-on-year, and the number of tax refund applications and tax refund amounts from many places increased rapidly.
