Recently, Guangdong announced that it will roll out a consumption season across the province.

In response, Shenzhen launched a cross-year consumption season, which will feature more than 500 consumption promotion events that highlight technological innovation. The public will be able to view demonstrations of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft showcasing the future form of "air taxi", and local leading tech enterprises will jointly operate a new-product experience zone. The initiative will launch a series of exclusive consumption packages, cross-border payment incentives and convenient customs clearance services for Hong Kong and Macao residents, deepening consumption integration among Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao.

During China's 15th National Games, Shenzhen will distribute numerous free scenic-spot tickets, collaborate with districts to issue cultural and tourism consumption vouchers, and combine platform subsidies with merchant discounts, converting ticket stubs, air tickets and orders into "welfare vouchers".

Taking the hosting of the Asia‑Pacific Economic Cooperation summit (APEC summit) as an opportunity, Shenzhen will implement new duty-free policies, support the introduction of domestic brands with Chinese design elements to port duty-free shops and in-city duty-free shops, implement "online booking, port delivery" and "in-city booking, inbound delivery" models. The city will expand coverage of departure tax refund shops, promote pilot programs such as "refund-upon-purchase" and "one order, one package, one code", and cultivate a batch of internationally-friendly business districts to create a smooth and comfortable consumption experience for inbound consumers.

Shenzhen has already achieved full acceptance of overseas bank cards, refund-upon-purchase, city-wide deployment of AI translation, luggage delivery and multilingual services. Not long after, it will launch "free half-day tours for inbound visitors" and distribute 20,000 AI city travel cards, creating a new "threshold-free travel" experience.
