The South Korean government announced on the 20th that it plans to implement a time limited visa free policy for Chinese group tourists in the third quarter of this year to promote the development of the domestic tourism market. According to the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on the 20th, the acting president of South Korea, Choi Sang mu, presided over a "People's Livelihood and Economic Inspection Conference" in Gyeongju on the same day. At the conference, relevant departments jointly released the "Global Boosting Strategy for Visiting the South Korean Tourism Market", which includes the above content. According to the plan, the South Korean government will release a limited time visa free program for Chinese group tourists next month, and strive to fully implement it in the third quarter of this year after passing the national opinion collection process. On the same day, Chinese Ambassador to South Korea Dai Bing stated on social media that China had implemented a unilateral visa free policy for South Korea since November last year, which greatly facilitated the travel of South Korean people to China and was welcomed and praised by various sectors of South Korea. I believe that the facilitation measures introduced by both China and South Korea will further promote the frequent visits and closer ties between the people of the two countries. At the same time, the South Korean government plans to attract independent tourists aged 20 to 30 from first tier Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and develop themed tourism products such as sports, food, beauty, culture and art for second and third tier Chinese cities to attract more group tourists. In addition, the South Korean government will also launch a "one-stop consultation service for inbound tourism" platform in May this year to help local autonomous groups and individual businesses attract more foreign tourists, and optimize transportation conditions to enhance the accessibility of foreign tourists to various scenic spots.
