The decision could be detrimental to Canada's travel industry's post-pandemic recovery.

The Chinese government has removed Canada from its list of approved international travel destinations for tour groups.

The decision could be detrimental to Canada's travel industry's post-pandemic recovery.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on August 10 that 78 countries have been added to the list of approved destinations for group tours and package travel.

Travel agents in China use this list when promoting overseas travel and booking travel for Chinese nationals.

On the question of excluding Canada from this list, the public affairs office of the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa said that recently there has been repeated noise of Chinese interference by Canada and there has been a significant increase in anti-Asian words and activities within Canada.

The Chinese government pays great importance to the safety and protection of the legitimate rights of Chinese citizens living abroad and wants them to travel in a safe and friendly environment, the embassy wrote.
