 China Tells Mid-to-High-End Hotels to Accept Foreign Bank Cards
==========

China has instructed mid-to-high-end hotels to accept foreign bank cards as part of efforts to boost tourism. The move is aimed at making it easier for foreign tourists to pay for their accommodations in China. The directive was issued by the People's Bank of China and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The policy applies to hotels with a star rating of three or above, and failure to comply could result in penalties. The new rule is expected to benefit both foreign tourists and the Chinese tourism industry.
