Korean media: Korean travel agencies began to stop selling China's tourism products, and their sales dropped sharply.

According to South Korea's "East Asia Daily" reported on March 20th, South Korean industry sources revealed on June 9th that the number of people asking about China's tourism products during the weekend broadcast of domestic TV shopping in South Korea decreased by two thirds compared with the same period of last year, so more and more travel agencies began to stop selling China's tourism products, and TV shoppers also expressed their intention to completely cancel related programs.

According to a salesperson of a travel agency, many travel agencies have stopped offering TV shopping products since the beginning of March. Some TV shoppers also announced that from April, China travel goods will not be arranged in the program.

Not only TV shopping channels, but also offline agents have also been affected. According to another tourist, April-May is the peak season of tourism every year. Last year, more than 7,000 Korean tourists signed up for a tour of China, but this year only 2,000 people made reservations.

With the sharp drop of customers booking China tourism products, customers booking Japanese and Southeast Asian tourism products began to increase. People in the tourism industry say that this is the "balloon effect". With the arrival of the cherry blossom season, the number of bookings for travel to Japan has increased by 65,438+000% ~ 65,438+050% compared with last year, and the number of people inquiring about tourism products in Southeast Asia is also on the rise. Generally speaking, the frequency of going abroad has not decreased.
