Yoo In-chon, Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism (MCST), will visit Shanghai, China, from November 21 to 23 at the invitation of the Chinese government to attend the China International Travel Mart (CITM). During his visit, Minister Yoo will meet Sun Yeli, China's Minister of Culture and Tourism, to hold the first Korea-China Culture and Tourism Ministers’ Meeting in five and a half years. They will discuss expanding exchanges in tourism and cultural industries between the two countries. Additionally, he will meet with Thailand's Minister of Tourism and Sports, Sarawut Thiangtung, and Malaysia's Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Tiong King Sing, to explore opportunities for cultural and sports exchange and cooperation. Minister Yoo also plans to visit the Korea Pavilion at the CITM to encourage local governments and industry representatives promoting inbound tourism to Korea.
On November 23, Minister Yoo and Minister Sun Yeli will convene the Korea-China Culture and Tourism Ministers’ Meeting. As this is the first meeting since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it holds particular significance, especially following China’s recent unilateral visa exemption policy for Korean nationals. Key discussion topics will include measures to enhance immigration convenience, create a safe tourism environment, and improve the "China-designated travel agency system" to foster increased tourism exchanges. Minister Yoo will also propose expanding mutual cultural exchanges and emphasize the importance of providing a predictable and stable environment for Korean content companies operating in China.
Ahead of this meeting, on November 21, Minister Yoo will participate in a roundtable discussion with Korean content business representatives active in China to hear their on-the-ground perspectives on revitalizing cultural industry exchanges between Korea and China. This session will include representatives from the Korean Cultural Centers in Beijing and Shanghai, the Korea Creative Content Agency’s Beijing Center, and executives from Korean broadcasting, gaming, and entertainment companies operating in China.
