With the Chinese mainland’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays on the horizon, South Korea ✈️ is stepping up its game. From September 29, a brand-new pilot visa-free entry scheme kicks off for Chinese tourist groups, aiming to make travel smoother and more fun.
Yohan Park, managing vice president at Korean Air’s China regional headquarters, said this move will “boost visitor numbers in the short term and enhance the competitiveness of tourism infrastructure in the long run.” More tourists means more vibrant streets, buzzing markets, and a chance to dive into K-culture like never before!
Park also shared a friendly message: to the Chinese people, “We hope you experience the warm hospitality and K-culture in Korea.” To the Korean people, he added, “China is close and surprisingly new. We hope you experience it by yourself.” 🌏🤝
This pilot is all about connecting cultures and creating memorable experiences—whether you’re snapping selfies in Seoul’s neon-lit districts or savoring street food in Busan. So pack your bags, brush up on some Korean phrases, and get ready for an epic holiday adventure! 🇰🇷✨
