Reflecting the slow recovery of tourism in South Korea, a new 'Cultural Training Visa' is set to be introduced in the second half of the year to attract foreign visitors interested in learning K-pop and dance, enabling them to stay long-term. This initiative aims to enhance cultural experiences and shopping satisfaction, amid changing consumer patterns that have affected major tax-free stores like Lotte, which recorded significant losses in the first quarter. The move supports the influx of overseas fans into South Korea, contributing to the tourism sector and the economy.
