Recently, the Xinxiang Xuelan ferry, carrying 285 South Korean tourists, arrived at Yantai Port, where visitors began their immersive journey along Yantai's picturesque coastline. After the relaxation of the entry visa-free policy, cities across Shandong have enhanced their cultural and tourism offerings and improved services to provide inbound tourists with enriching experiences and high-quality services.

Since the beginning of this year, Yantai has explored the South Korean inbound market by increasing product offerings and launching various promotional activities. Notably, it organized the marketing campaign "A Tour to Yantai to Get Ancient Method-Brewed Liquor", providing customized versions of this liquor to South Korean tourists visiting Yantai through travel agencies. Meanwhile, Qingdao's advantageous location and extensive route coverage make it a top choice for many foreign tourists traveling to Shandong. In response to the surge in inbound tourism resulting from the visa-free policy, the border inspection, customs, passenger transport, and other relevant authorities in Weihai have analyzed passenger flow in real time, dynamically adjusted manpower allocation, and consistently enhanced their services.
