韓聯(lián)社：中國放松赴韓跟團游禁令

China has relaxed a ban on group tours to South Korea imposed in retaliation over Seoul’s deployment of the US-built Thaad missile shield, according to official media.

韓國官方媒體報道，中國放松了對赴韓跟團游的禁令。實施這項禁令是為了報復韓國部署美制導彈防御系統(tǒng)“末段高空區(qū)域防御系統(tǒng)”(THAAD，中文簡稱：薩德)。

China’s National Tourism Administration will allow tour agencies in Beijing and Shandong province to sell package tours to South Korea, state news agency Yonhap reported, citing unnamed industry sources. However, it added that China had demanded these packages not include visits to businesses linked to Lotte Group – the South Korean conglomerate that has agreed to host a US missile defence system on its golf course.

韓國官方通訊社韓聯(lián)社(Yonhap)援引不具名行業(yè)人士的消息報道稱，中國國家旅游局將允許北京和山東的旅行社銷售赴韓跟團游產(chǎn)品。但韓聯(lián)社補充稱，中方已要求這些跟團游的行程不能涉及與樂天集團(Lotte Group)有關聯(lián)的企業(yè)。這家韓國綜合性企業(yè)此前同意出讓其高爾夫球場用于部署“薩德”。

A ban will remain on online sales of tours as well as cruises and charter flights in South Korea, an official at the Korea Tourism Organisation told Reuters.

韓國旅游發(fā)展局(Korea Tourism Organisation)一名官員告訴路透社(Reuters)，對赴韓跟團游網(wǎng)銷產(chǎn)品以及赴韓郵輪游和包機的禁令還未解除。

Beijing banned Chinese tour groups from visiting South Korea in March, which tour agencies said at the time was linked to Seoul’s decision to deploy Thaad, the Terminal High Altitude Defence platform. South Korean companies have borne the brunt of a Chinese government-led boycott over the missile shield.

今年3月，北京方面對赴韓跟團游下了禁令，當時旅行社表示，這與韓國決定部署“薩德”有關。在中國政府主導的因“薩德”而起的抵制行動中，韓國企業(yè)界首當其沖。

Shares in South Korean cosmetics brand AmorePacific – which owns brands popular with Chinese shoppers – were little moved by the prospect of a partial return of Chinese tourists, up 0.2 per cent on Tuesday afternoon. Lotte Shopping, the retail subsidiary of conglomerate Lotte, was up 1 per cent.

旗下品牌受到中國消費者青睞的韓國美妝品牌愛茉莉太平洋(Amore Pacific)的股價并未因為可能有部分中國游客回流的前景出現(xiàn)多少波動，該公司股價在周二午盤上漲0.2%。樂天集團旗下零售公司樂天百貨(Lotte Shopping)的股價上漲1%。
