Report: This year, Chinese tourists visiting South Korea are far less than the period

The latest report states that the size of Chinese tourists visiting South Korea this year is less than 2017 to 2019.

After South Korea decided to deploy the Sad anti -missile system in 2016, South Korea -China relations fell into a trough.

Yonhap reported that the South Korean Institute of Modern Economic Research issued a report on Sunday (November 26) stating that Chinese tourists visiting South Korea this year were 144,000.The Korean group tour was stopped from 2017 to 2019.At that time, Chinese tourists visiting South Korea averaged 416,000.

The report said that the slowdown in China's economic growth is one of the reasons why Chinese tourists visiting South Korea have not rebounded.The changes in the travel mode of Chinese tourists are also the main reason.Before the outbreak of the crown disease, the proportion of group tourists among Chinese tourists accounted for more than 20%, but in the third quarter of this year, it fell to 13.8%. It can be seen that Chinese tourists' preference for group tours has decreased.

The South Korean Institute of Modern Economic Research predicts that Chinese tourists visiting South Korea next year are expected to create a tourism revenue of 30 to 9 billion US dollars (about 40.2 to 12.06 billion yuan) for South Korea, which is about 2022 namesGDP of domestic product (GDP) 0.2 to 0.5%.
