因此，大家不要误认为是国务院对上海、重庆两市的外商投资旅行社可以现在突破疫情防控措施直接从事出境旅游业务哦。

通过上述政策解读，我们是否可以大胆预测一下呢，并抱着美好的期待，但愿我们可以在2024-2025年在境外旅行相见哦！

除此之外，开放外商投资旅游企业从事大陆居民的出境游也是一个积极的开放市场准入的信号呢！在近两年疫情影响下，尽管当前出境游仍处于暂停状态，中国依旧积极调整政策制度，大力推行开放市场准入的各项措施，吸引外资进入，放宽对外资在旅游业中的限制，这也是对外资的一大利好政策！同时，中国的旅游市场开放程度进一步扩展，一旦更多外资旅行社将来加入出境游经营领域，有望给旅游市场带来更丰富和有竞争力的产品。也会给中国旅游企业在入境游和出境游市场带来新的合作机会！让我们一起拭目以待吧！感兴趣的拟在上海开展旅游业的外资企业，欢迎联系我们哦，公司设立，资质申请审核等，我们可以提供绿色通道哦！
