South Korea's tourism revenue plummeted. Is it forbidden to travel to South Korea in China?

According to Yonhap News Agency, the data released by Korea Tourism Organization (Tourism Board) shows that the number of Koreans traveling abroad increased by 18.2% year-on-year, reaching 24,099,438+05,005, while the number of foreign tourists visiting Korea decreased by 23.3% year-on-year, reaching only 65,438. In the same period, South Korea's tourism revenue and expenditure deficit increased by 1 12.7% year-on-year, reaching1140.8 billion US dollars, and it is expected to exceed1200 million US dollars in the whole year, setting a record high. As of June this year 1 1, the number of Korean tourists leaving Korea is 1.97 times that of foreign tourists visiting Korea.

However, China has not banned traveling to South Korea! But since Sadr, Korean tourists have stopped shopping in South China. Prior to this, China tourists were very popular in Korea and became the biggest pillar of Korean tourism. More than half of the development of Korean tourism is supported by China people, and the shopping ability of China tourists is very strong. China tourists spent hundreds of billions of RMB in South Korea the year before last. For South Korea, almost all tourism dependence comes from China, but since Sadr, the situation has changed.

Due to the tension between China and South Korea caused by Sadr, many Koreans were very dissatisfied and Koreans began to crowd out South Korea. It has been about 8 months since Sadr, and the number of tourists from China to South Korea is very small. The rapid decrease of tourists from China has frequently hit and hit the Korean tourism industry. At first, South Korea didn't expect that the lack of tourists from China would have such a great impact.

However, after this period of time, Koreans found that South Korea's tourism industry really can't be separated from China tourists, and it can't be supported by tourists from some countries such as Southeast Asia. Recently, many businesses in South Korea have declared bankruptcy and stopped operating because there is no way to continue their business. Even Lotte has declared bankruptcy and lost tens of billions of dollars.
