🌐 The countdown is on for this year’s APEC summit, hosting world leaders in Gyeongju. With regional cooperation and connectivity taking center stage, one sector is already stealing the spotlight: tourism between the Chinese mainland and South Korea — and it’s bouncing back in style! ✈️
In bustling districts of Seoul and beyond, travelers are rediscovering K-pop beats, mouthwatering street food, and centuries-old palaces. After pandemic restrictions eased, flights resumed, and cross-border tours are filling up fast. Local guides say renewed exchanges aren’t just about sightseeing — they’re building bridges in culture and business.
Experts note that this tourism rebound goes hand in hand with closer economic ties. As more visitors arrive, hotels, cafes, and startups across South Korea feel the buzz of fresh opportunities. It’s a win-win: Chinese mainland guests dive into Korean pop culture, while entrepreneurs explore new partnerships.
With the eyes of the Asia-Pacific turning to Gyeongju, the tourism revival serves as a vibrant backdrop. From cherry blossoms in spring to neon-lit streets at night, the renewed journey between the Chinese mainland and South Korea is setting the stage for deeper connections across the region.
