It is expected that business between China and the UAE to get a boost as the UAE granted visa on arrival of Chinese nationals, a diplomat and senior business executives Chinese level Gulf News said.
"It will further promote bilateral cooperation in areas such as aviation, trade and service, bringing more opportunities for bilateral economic cooperation," said Lin Yaduo, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Abu Dhabi.

He said the UAE was the second largest trading partner of China and the largest export market in the Middle East and North Africa, and an important trading center for Chinese products.

The main companies operating in the UAE include China Construction, China National Petroleum Corporation and China Harbour.
Chinese banks with offices in the UAE are the Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank and the Industrial Commercial Bank of China. Dragon Mart Dubai has many Chinese companies that sell a variety of products, including machine tools, electronics, clothing and leather products. Installation of visa-on-arrival to Chinese nationals also have an important impact on tourism, Lin said. "Tourism is also an important part of bilateral exchanges of people to people as evidenced by the fact that more than 500,000 Chinese tourists visited the UAE last year," said Yaduo. The first half of this year saw 267,000 Chinese tourists to Dubai, marking a year on year increase of 11 percent.

120 million oversea Chinese tourists in 2015

"However, if we consider that we had more than 120 million outbound Chinese tourists in 2015, it is fair to say that there is still enormous potential for exploration of more Chinese tourists to the UAE," Yaduo said. With good geographic location and rich tourism resources of the UAE with a strong cultural flavor, the decision to grant visa-on-arrival to Chinese nationals will attract Chinese tourists largely to the UAE, he added. Dubai-based Chinese travel agency Tourism Hunter agreed. General manager Michelle Chen said the Chinese passengers transiting through UAE airports would be easy to get a visa and enter the country for scales. "Tourist arrivals from China will double due to the system of visas on arrival. Many people in China will be of great interest to visit the UAE and see the sights," he said.

The new visa policy is also likely to boost the real estate sector in the UAE. A number of Chinese citizens have already bought properties in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, particularly in Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Akoya said Jun. "It will be easier for Chinese citizens traveling to the UAE to buy property due to the ease of visa-on-arrival. They do not have to go through the hassle of applying for a visa and wait for approval" he added.

"Chinese companies use the UAE as a hub for sending their products to African countries and sold in the market. With the visa process become simple, there will be a growth spurt in this activity."
