Travelers can now stay in China up to 15 days visa-free when entering via cruises, the government announced Wednesday, as part of efforts to woo tourists.

New regulations, which came into effect Wednesday, allow tour groups to enter through one of 13 coastal cruise ports in China and stay for up to 15 days in select provinces in the country.

Visitors must travel as part of a tour group of at least two people organized by a Chinese travel agency and depart the country on the same cruise. Tour groups can travel to Beijing or other coastal provinces. On Wednesday, seven cruise ports were also added as eligible entry points under China's existing visa-free transit policy, on top of the previous 31.
