Chinese travellers with visas from the United States, Europe or Canada to enter the country without having to apply first to the Bahamas' embassy in Beijing.
Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham and Communist Party official Wang Lequan from China had a meeting at Mr Ingraham's office recently.
The Bahamas Government plans to relax entry visa requirements for Chinese visitors and increase crawfish export to China, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham revealed recently.
The proposed ease of travel restrictions would allow Chinese travellers with visas from the United States, Europe or Canada to enter the country without having to apply first to the Bahamas' embassy in Beijing.
Mr Ingraham also said the country hopes to capitalise on the growing demand for seafood in China through crawfish exports.
Last year, the US, Canada and France were the major importers of Bahamian crawfish, with America being the largest market in terms of quantity consumed.
Mr Wang, who spoke through a translator, said the relaxation in travel restrictions will no doubt attract more Chinese tourists who have more disposable income than ever to spend overseas.
Chinese companies are also enthusiastic about making investments abroad, said Mr Wang.
