The South Korean government has launched a visa-free entry policy for Chinese tourists from September 29.According to the South Korean newspaper, the South Korean tourism and circulation industry has launched discount campaigns aimed at Chinese tourists, and expanded the application of WeChat payment, payment treasure and other settlement methods to seize this difficult "China business opportunity".

According to the report, the duty-free shop industry has the highest expectation. South Korea's Silla Duty Free Shop said on the 28th that on the first day of visa exemption (29th), a large luxury cruise ship "Dream" from China will arrive at Incheon Port, and about 1,700 passengers on board will go to Seoul stores. In order to welcome tourists, duty-free shops prepared bouquets and launched a number of preferential activities, and Lotte Duty-Free shops also carried out such activities simultaneously.

The report continued that the large supermarkets and hotel industry are also "occupied with welcoming Chinese tourists". there are Korean supermarkets plans to hold Korean food festivals in Seoul, Busan, Jeju and other specialty stores for foreign tourists from 30 to 15 next month; some hotels in the region of Seoul invite some Chinese networks to attract more Chinese tourists through "accommodation experience marketing".

In addition, the number of merchants supporting WeChat Payment and Payment Points is also increasing.Because these are the most frequently used convenience payment services in China, Korean grocery stores will also offer discounts or exchange rate deals for customers using related payments by the end of next month; South Korea's outsourcing food delivery platform "Distribution Nation" has recently added these two payment channels to the application.

South Korea's visa-free entry policy for Chinese group tourists will last until June 30th next year. During the trial period of visa-free policy, Chinese group tourists of more than three people can enter South Korea visa-free and stay for 15 days. Jeju is the same as before, and individual and group tourists can enter the country visa-free and stay for 30 days.
