Why have South Korea and Japan become the largest tourist source countries in China?

1, in addition to geographical proximity, the most important thing is that tourism is cost-effective! Because Japanese tourists come to China 15 days, and the price in China is relatively low and the safety is high, a considerable number of Japanese are willing to visit China.

For South Korea, the same is true, that is, there is no visa exemption, but it is very easy for them to get a tourist visa. For example, many scenic spots in Guangdong can see English/Japanese/Korean foreign languages, a bit like Tokyo. Basically, English/Chinese/Korean foreign languages are marked.

There is another unexpected and understandable reason. Another reason why the Japanese sent them to China for tourism is that they can read Chinese characters. After all, in this world, only China and Japanese can communicate with each other.

3. And in recent years, with the strong rise of China, it is normal that more and more foreigners visit China. After all, public security is good and transportation is convenient. These hardware conditions are very suitable for traveling. If you want to travel to Africa, you often need to consider your own life safety, so in the ranking of the most popular tourist countries in the world, China has ranked fourth.

Finally, as the second largest economy in the world, China has very close and frequent foreign economic ties, especially Japanese and Korean (ranking second and third in China's foreign trade respectively). So there will be a large number of people with economic and trade relations entering and leaving the country.

China, Japan and South Korea travel frequently. Are they their main source countries?

China and South Korea's tourism consumption price includes package tourists, and it is more affordable for Japanese tourists to travel to South Korea than to Japan.

For the annual air ticket price, going to Japan is cheaper than going to Korea, especially in summer and winter. Judging from the hotel room price, the accommodation price in Japan and South Korea is stable all the year round, but the price of each room in South Korea is more than half cheaper than that in Japan.

Judging from the unit price data per person per day for group tours, the price of traveling to Japan has been relatively stable for many years, and it is cheaper to travel to Japan in other seasons except winter 1/4. It's not cost-effective to go to Korea with a group in winter, and the price has doubled.
