South Korean tourism to China surges, AI standards go free

South Korean tourism to China is experiencing a significant rebound, with over 1.7 million visitors in the first half of the year, a 16% increase from the previous year. This growth is attributed to China's appeal as a close, cost-effective, and experience-rich destination, further boosted by a visa-free policy for South Korean citizens starting November 2024. Concurrently, China is making national standards, including those related to AI and safety, freely accessible online, with millions of downloads and reads recorded for Chinese versions and a growing interest in foreign language versions.

    The number of South Korean tourists to China continues to grow

    韩国政府最新统计数据显示,今年1月至6月,韩国访华人数约171.4万人次,较去年同期增长16%。韩国业界普遍认为,中国是“距离近、体验好的海外旅游目的地”,预计2026年全年韩国赴华游客人数将继续保持增长。据韩国《东亚日报》报道,中国正作为“高性价比旅游目的地”受到韩国游客关注,赴华旅游产品持续扩容。特别是中国自2024年11月起对韩国公民实行最长30天免签入境政策,让韩国游客节省签证办理等相关费用,大幅降低出行成本。(财联社)
