Following the unified arrangement of the National Immigration Administration (NIA), the immigration inspection authorities in China rigorously implemented the "Two Announcements and One Reminder" policy. Specifically, the immigration inspection authorities made predictions of traffic flows at their respective ports, based on scientific grounds, and released the relevant information promptly to help exit-entry travelers better make their travel plans and avoid peak hours to prevent congestion. In addition, the immigration inspection authorities deployed enough police officers and other staff workers, opened sufficient inspection channels, and strictly implemented the policy that the queuing time for each Chinese citizen should not exceed 30 minutes. Furthermore, the immigration inspection authorities enhanced cooperation with other relevant authorities to make careful arrangements for exit-entry passenger flow management during peak hours, take comprehensive measures for transportation, and adeptly deal with the challenges caused by extreme weather conditions, ensuring smooth exits and entries of tourists. The ports around China ensured safe, efficient and smooth exit-entry services during this year's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays.
