TOKYO --  ANA Holdings has begun offering free domestic flights for passengers connecting from China as the airline group seeks to welcome aboard more inbound tourists, Nikkei has learned.

Starting in mid-January, passengers on flights from China to Japan only pay the international flight fare, with no additional charge for connecting flights from international airports, such as Tokyo's Haneda Airport, to regional airports.
