중국 179명•일본 45명…승무원보다 적은 외국인 관광객
Due to travel restrictions imposed due to COVID-19, there were fewer foreign tourists to South Korea in May than there were local crew members.
According to Korea Tourism Organization Monday, just over 6-thousand foreigners visited South Korea in May, far lower than the almost 13-thousand crew members who were working on flights and ships.
South Korea's ongoing two-week long self-quarantine made travel much more difficult.
Only around 180 Chinese tourists visited South Korea in May, a massive drop from the 410-thousand who visited during the same month last year.
In fact, there have been zero foreigners arriving at Jeju International Airport from overseas since April.
