Thousands of Chinese tourists who want to gamble at South Korea\u2019s casinos often join up with group tours and travel across the border to places like <strong>Jeju Island<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Korea Tourism Organization\u2019s Deputy Director <strong>Park Yong-hwan<\/strong> and several Chinese travel agencies, the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.cnta.gov.cn\/\">China National Tourism Administration<\/a> has announced that the Chinese government is now allowing travel agencies to partly resume sales of group tours to South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Group tours to South Korea will once again be available from <strong>Beijing<\/strong> and <strong>Shandong<\/strong>, albeit with certain conditions and limitations. Only over-the-counter package tours are permitted\u2014meaning no online offerings, chartered flights, or cruise trips. <\/p>\n<p>Also included in the restrictions is the directive not to include any <strong>Lotte Group<\/strong> units. This includes a stop-over at <strong>Lotte Duty Free<\/strong>, a staple in prior tour packages to South Korea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARIRANG NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a3TNh65enQc?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>This slow warming up of China to South Korea comes after the two countries reached an agreement at the end of October to put a stop to their almost year-long dispute. The agreement was confirmed after low-key negotiations between South Korean and Chinese officials settled the countries\u2019 military and security prospects.<\/p>\n<p>The South Korea-China rift dates back to March when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/03\/17\/thaad-anti-missile-system-makes-china-lash-out-at-south-korea.html\">South Korea agreed to the deployment of the US\u2019 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense<\/a> (Thaad) \u2014 an advanced American missile defense system that China has been fighting against for years. Lotte Group has been instrumental in the cold war between China and South Korea since it was the company who provided the land for the installation of the advanced anti-missile system.<\/p>\n<p>In March, when the rift started, the international media reported that more than 3,400 Chinese tourists refused to leave their cruise ship when they arrived at Jeju Island in South Korea. The breakdown in relationship between the two countries significantly impacted tourism revenue in South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Korea Tourism Organization<\/strong> reported that mainland Chinese tourist numbers fell 61.2 percent in August, 56.1 percent in September, and 49.6 percent in October. In the first nine months of the year, the decline in Chinese tourists cost South Korea $6.5 billion in revenue compared to last year\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<p>However the dip in Chinese tourists hasn\u2019t had a major impact on the South Korean casino industry. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paradisegroup.co.kr\/eng\/main.asp\">Paradise Co Ltd<\/a>, which operates a number of foreigner-only casinos and gaming properties in South Korea, reported a third quarter increase of 5.3 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, <strong>Paradise Co<\/strong> attributed their growth to the recovery in Chinese and Japanese VIP play. <strong>Grand Korea Leisure Co Ltd<\/strong> which is another foreigner only casino also said that their third quarter revenue had increased by 3.5 percent year-on- year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China is watering down its boycott of South Korean products and services as Chinese group tours slowly begin to resume travel to South Korea.
