China signed a mutual visa exemption agreement with Thailand, causing a seven-fold increase in Thailand-related searches on C-trip the following day, according to Yicai. C-trip data shows Chinese passengers increased bookings to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand 15 times y/y during this year's Spring Festival. Qin Jing, vice president at Ctrip Group, said under the new agreement, which takes effect March 1 and replaces the existing visa free agreement for Chinese passengers, China can attract Thai passengers seeking ice and snow tourism.
