Zhejiang People'S Golden Week Is Catching Up With Korean Products. Some Of Them Are Cheaper Than Hongkong.

During the long holidays, a large number of Chinese tourists flocked to Seoul, Inchon and Jeju Island. Department stores, convenience stores and cosmetics stores in some cities in South Korea have posted red Chinese welcome signs and Chinese star names for Korean tourists. Entering the shopping malls in Seoul, listening to the Chinese cavities before and after, all of them could not help greeting, "did you also come to Korea for a long vacation?" the reporter learned from a number of travel agencies in Zhejiang that in the past 7 days, many Zhejiang people also caught up with the "Korean wave", many of which were free. In 2013, China had more than 432 people travelling to Korea, and by October 7, 2014, the total number of tourists leaving Korea has exceeded 5 million.

　　 Hangzhou Leader felt

Chinese people are crazy about shopping.

Xie Ruoxi, the leader of Hangzhou overseas Korean tour group, almost brought her to the intensive Korean phobia during the national day. "There are too many people. I stayed in Seoul for two days. When we go to Gyongbokkung, we can't get into the door at all. The pressure is all Chinese. To the walking street in the Ming cave, walking is basically the people, shoulder and shoulder; the shopping mall and duty-free shop are all kinds of Chinese people in line, the fitting room and the bank are queuing, just as busy as the Hangzhou shopping mall.

"Those days I saw a little bit afraid of people. The streets and restaurants were Chinese." Xie Ruoxi told the Qianjiang Evening News reporter, "Jeju Island is a little better, because it is a large tourist attraction, but it is much more than that during the summer vacation."

In order to greet a large number of Chinese tourists, the South Korean side is also fully prepared. In addition to the Chinese annotations for identifying slogans, Xie Ruoxi feels the most profound is the sales of Chinese salesmen in the mall. Whether you're a northerner or a southerner, there's almost no barrier to communication. Because the shopping malls are full of all kinds of Chinese, you will wonder if you really went abroad.

Chinese shoppers staged a crazy game in Korea. Korean media reported that there had been a large number of Chinese tourists waiting in line at the gate 20~30 minutes before the opening of the Lotte Department store. Chinese tourists lined up in front of a department store in the open hole lined up for a whole road, and many goods were sold out of stock.

Korea's free travel is mostly.

Zhejiang people love to buy Korean cosmetics.

The Qianjiang Evening News reporter learned some data from the provincial Brigade: the number of visitors to Korea in July was 2826, 3107 in August and 1478 in September. Zhu Xiaojun, director of the exit of the China Youth Travel Agency, also said that the number of Korean tourists in the 782 months had reached more than 3000 passengers. Most people went to Korea to buy cosmetics, and the influence of Korean dramas and Korean wave should not be underestimated. By September, the relative decline was 1/3, but there were also more than 2000 people, while the "eleven" golden week trip reached 800.

Maybe these data alone can not tell how many Chinese are in Korea. According to the heads of the major travel agencies, because it is too convenient for them to go to Korea now, ordinary young people do not need to follow the regiment at all.

Zhu Xiaojun told the Qianjiang Evening News reporter that because of the impact of the Asian Games this year, many large travel agencies gave up their seats to the team of regular visits to the Asian Games, but the total number of outbound travelers still rose steadily, and the destinations of tourists were still concentrated in Seoul and Jeju Island.

Xu Ying, manager of Hangzhou overseas travel agency, Korea and South Korea, said that the total number of tourists to Korea in the first half of this year was 5600, and the summer peak reached more than 4000 in 782 months.

This is from reporters. The Republic of Korea Tourism Development Bureau in Shanghai branch responsible person Songhua understand basically the situation here. Songhua revealed that in 2013, China had more than 432 people travelling to Korea, and by October 7, 2014, the total number of tourists leaving for Korea has exceeded 5 million. Now Korean tourism has no so-called peak season. South Korean media have made predictions that the number of Chinese tourists traveling to Korea in the "eleven" golden week this year will be 40 thousand more than the same period last year, reaching 160 thousand.

　　 Easy to travel, Shopping paradise

Some goods are cheaper than Hongkong.

It has been a while in Korea. Xu Zhoubing, who is responsible for Ctrip, told reporters that Ctrip has more than 300 thousand guests heading to Korea this year. He believes there are four main reasons why Korean tourism is so popular.

First, because of the increase in air traffic capacity, the choice of domestic tourists to South Korea is more abundant, and there is more selectivity on the price. Take Asiana as an example. In the morning, from Seoul to Hangzhou, the guests from Hangzhou will be invited to the South Korean restaurant around 3 p.m., just to have a good dinner and fly back and forth in one day. And compared to other outbound tours, the cost of traveling to Korea is relatively low. The average time of 3~5 days is 2000 yuan to 4000 yuan, enough to meet the price of 1000 yuan.

In addition, because Southeast Asian countries were not very "peaceful" during this period, a lot of tourists diverted to Korea. Another very important reason is that Jeju Island, South Korea, is the destination for mainland tourists to sign away, which is very attractive to the troublesome young people. In addition, Japan and South Korea cruise products are more frequent this year, and there are more forms of choice for visitors to Korea.

South Korea's shopping is a major factor for tourists to travel, especially for cosmetics and luxury goods. The cost of shopping is even lower than that of Hongkong. Affected by the appreciation of the renminbi and other exchange rate factors, the exchange rate of RMB against the Korean won during the National Day is 1 to 1631000 won, which is almost equivalent to 6 yuan. In terms of Tissot watch, a domestic watch with a price of around 4500 yuan can be taken from 3300 yuan to 3400 yuan in Seoul.
