It offers more than 1,700 UK products. Popular routes include weeklong tours of England and 14-day trips that also include Scotland and Ireland.

Summer is the best season for UK travel, so the pound's depreciation may inspire a surge this season, online travel agency Tuniu's European product manager Ma Jing says.

Britain this month opened new visa centers in Hunan province's capital, Changsha; Yunnan province's capital, Kunming; and Shaanxi province's capital, Xi'an. That brings the total to 15 on the Chinese mainland.

Beijing's and Shanghai's centers are expected to expand.

Many travel products currently integrate England, Ireland and France.

The Brexit may entice travel agencies to develop exclusive in-depth UK tours.

A VisitBritain spokesperson, who declined to be named, didn't address Chinese tourism but tells China Daily: "We offer a warm welcome to our many European visitors ... It's a great summer to come to Britain.
