How did China deal with the "travel ban to South Korea"?

On March 3rd, a news from Yonhap News Agency attracted the close attention of the ruling and opposition parties in South Korea. According to the news from the tourism industry in China, China National Tourism Administration called a number of travel agencies in Beijing on the afternoon of the 2nd, and verbally ordered to ban all online and offline sales of Korean tourism products.

Specific circumstances:

In addition to prohibiting the sale of group tour products, free travel products through travel agencies are also prohibited. Korean media said that China plans to gradually expand the scope of the "Korean travel ban" from Beijing to the whole territory. At the same time, China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) also issued a travel reminder to South Korea in its official website at noon on the 3rd, saying that the recent incidents of China citizens being blocked from entering Jeju Island in South Korea have increased sharply. The National Tourism Administration has met with officials of the Korean Embassy in China and other institutions in China to make solemn representations and remind China citizens to choose their tourist destinations carefully.

According to the Korean industry, the proportion of individual tourists visiting China is about 60%, and the remaining 40% are group tourists. More than half of individual tourists also visit Korea through travel agencies. Therefore, after China bans the sale of Korean tourism products, the number of tourists to South Korea and China may drop by 60%-70%, and the Korean tourism industry may be hit hard. In particular, Jeju tourism, which is highly dependent on China tourists, will bear the brunt.

Media voice:

At the press conference held on the 3rd, a reporter from Yonhap News Agency also asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China about the recent rumors that Hyundai was smashed on the Internet. The reporter questioned, "Is China's' anti-Sadr movement' evolving in the direction of violence?"

In this regard, Geng Shuang also answered that day, saying that there was no "anti-Sadr" action in China, let alone violence. "Some of the specific situations you mentioned, if they happen in China and violate the law, will be investigated and dealt with by the judicial organs, but there is absolutely no so-called' anti-Sadr movement' or even violent movement. As I have repeatedly stressed just now, I hope that relevant parties can listen to the voice of the people. "
