South Korea and China are scheduled to hold a bilateral tourism ministers’ meeting next week in Qingdao, China. This significant event marks the first such gathering in four years, signaling efforts to revitalize tourism cooperation between the two nations following the pandemic.
South Korean Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yoo In-chon will meet with China’s Minister of Culture and Tourism Sun Yeli. The primary objective of their discussions is to explore measures aimed at enhancing bilateral tourism cooperation and boosting exchanges.
