Yes. Both markets need a B1/B2 visitor visa, and neither is eligible for ESTA. Tell people to apply early because interview wait times can be long, especially in India. Explain whether you provide an invitation or support letter and a confirmed itinerary for the application.
For India, tie it to Diwali, summer vacation (May–June) and honeymoon season. For China, tie it to Golden Week (October) and Chinese New Year. Mention the weather by region: East Coast, West Coast and national parks.

The USA is a year-round destination, but with a country this vast — spanning deserts, mountains, coastlines, and big cities across multiple climate zones — the best time to go depends on where you're headed. Here's what each season offers.
Spring is one of the best all-round times to visit the USA. Temperatures are mild across most of the country, the crowds of summer haven't yet arrived, and the scenery is at its freshest. It's an ideal time for the national parks and the canyons of the Southwest — the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce are comfortable to explore before the summer heat sets in — and a beautiful season for East Coast cities like New York and Washington, D.C., where cherry blossoms and spring gardens are in full bloom. Expect pleasant days, cooler evenings, and better value before the peak season begins.
Summer is the USA's peak travel season, when the days are long, warm, and perfect for road trips and the great outdoors. It's the classic time for a cross-country adventure, for California's beaches and coastline, and for exploring cities at their liveliest. Just be prepared for genuine heat in the Southwest — the deserts around Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon can soar past 40°C — so plan outdoor sightseeing for the early morning and evening. Expect larger crowds and higher prices at the major parks and attractions, so book well ahead.
Winter transforms the USA into a land of contrasts. The north and east turn cold and often snowy — magical for festive city breaks in New York, Washington, and beyond — while the south and west stay warm and welcoming. It's the ideal season to escape to California, Florida, or the deserts of the Southwest, where mild, sunny days make sightseeing a pleasure and the summer heat is long gone. Winter is also prime time for the national parks of the warm south and for those seeking blue skies without the crowds.
For many travellers, autumn is the sweet spot. The summer heat eases, the crowds thin out, and much of the country puts on a spectacular show of fall colours — especially across New England and the East Coast, where the autumn foliage is world-famous. It's a wonderful time for the Southwest canyons, for city breaks in New York and Washington, and for scenic drives of every kind, with comfortable temperatures and golden light. Prices and crowds drop after the summer peak, making it excellent value.
