A group of Chinese tourists visited Jeju for the first time in six years.
I visited Jeju on a cruise from China, and starting with this ship, about 40 international cruise ships from China are scheduled to visit Jeju this year alone.
Reporter Min So-young reports.

A cruise ship comes into Jeju Port from the distant sea.
This is the 24,000 ton cruise ‘Blue Dream Star’ departing from Shanghai, China.
This is the first cruise in Korea to enter Jeju this year, and a grand welcome ceremony was held to welcome more than 1,000 people, including Chinese tourists.
It is the first time in 6 years and 5 months that an international cruise from China has arrived in Jeju.
Tourists who are busy taking commemorative photos against the blue sky and sea of Jeju, enjoying the beautiful nature of Jeju, cannot hide their excitement all the time.
[마윈핑/중국 크루즈 관광객 : “저는 제주도에 세 번째 왔어요. 여기는 특히 재밌어요. 한국 음식 중에 치킨을 가장 좋아하고, 면세점에서 쇼핑하는 것이 기대됩니다.”]
The tourism industry expects that the local economy will also be revitalized as cruises from Japan continue to use Jeju as a port of call after Corona 19, followed by cruise tourism from China.
‘Cruise ships from China’ are scheduled to visit Jeju 47 times by the end of this year.
[윤재필/신라면세점 제주점장 : “제주지역이 타 지역, 특히 서울보다도 먼저, 저희 생각에는 관광산업이 부흥할 수 있을 것이라는 기대감을 가지고 있습니다.”]
Jeju Island and the Jeju Tourism Organization are also strengthening tourism marketing by visiting China.
About 330 international cruise ships have applied for entry into Jeju next year, 80% of which are cruise ships from China, and 900,000 tourists are expected to visit Jeju.
