Is your kid Hungarian? From March 14, Hungarians can travel visa-free to China for 14 days. A chance to use the language is always the best incentive.

It's an interesting change, thanks for sharing.
And yes, both our kids are dual Hungarian-British.
As we all live here, they use their HU passports more than the British one.
The one with the Asian language interest would rather go to South Korea I expect - it's all K-Pop factor. We were thinking of going there for some holidays but it's quite expensive and we've done nothing about it.
I cannot see visa-free to China is much interest to the vast majority of people here except a tiny few. People here are likely more concerned about their grocery bills and rubbish politics of OV.
I travel a great deal and even I'm not that interested in going to China. I'd rather go somewhere else like Thailand or Malaysia. Some airlines are now offering free stopovers. I received advertising a couple of days ago offering me a free stopover in China but the other one, Taiwan. Probably one of the more interesting free stopovers. If I go that way again, I might take them up on that.
But what I really want is Budapest Airport to offer flights to long haul places like Singapore or Tokyo.
