Will travel to South Korea get better?
On Tuesday the various Korean airlines told the government that they would like the “travel bubble” to be put in place as soon as possible.
The “travel bubble” is a travel partnership, without quarantine, between two cities or two countries, which has similar levels of Covid19 infections.
Currently to be able to come to Korea you need to obtain a visa which will indicate that you come for studies, work or a family reason. Many companies have suspended their airlines in the face of restricted passenger traffic.
In addition, the government is considering how to sign this type of partnership with different countries, but wishes to ensure that foreign nationals are properly vaccinated. So you have to find the right method of control.
“If quarantine security measures are in place, the government should apply the travel bubble to business and individual stays”
Korea Civil Aviation Association Vice President KIM KWANG OK said. Indeed, in 2019 travel alone represented 85% of tourists coming to South Korea.
It was underlined during this meeting, that despite the policies to deal with the health situation, the relaxations, it was still difficult for the tourism sector to see an improvement, it having been more than severely affected by the pandemic. .
Remember also that the Korean government is testing the K-ETA which is a declaration to be made online to be able to come to Korea (for a fee).
Hopefully this is the first sign of further improvement in travel.
