South Korea's Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister for the Economy, Choi Sang-mok, recently announced plans to introduce a visa-free policy for Chinese tour groups, with official details to be released in April and implementation expected in the third quarter this year.

The policy aims to stimulate tourism and economic growth by allowing conditional visa-free entry for Chinese travelers. While it may not dramatically reshape Northeast Asia’s tourism dynamics, it represents a significant step in strengthening South Korea's tourism foundation.

By late 2024, the country rolled out a special visa exemption for Chinese cruise travelers, permitting stays of up to three days—signaling a clear prioritization of the Chinese travel market

In order for more Chinese to experience our hospitality at the Slow Stay Da Hotel, we will be actively working with our partners in China to showcase our hotel and we welcome potential partners to ride this wave together.
