By the end of the year number of Chinese tourist could reach 115.000, putting China on the second place by the number of tourists, right after Croatia. Large increase of Chines tourists is due to the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina and China have abolished visas for tourist visit purposes for its citizens. With such demand for travel from China to Bosnia and Herzegovina it is very likely that direct flights from China to Sarajevo will be established soon. Last year talks were held about possible establishment of flights from China to Sarajevo via Belgrade.
