South Korean prime minister Kim Boo-kyum said on Wednesday will likely allow foreign group tours of fully vaccinated citizens to nations with stable virus response measures as early as in July, as the vaccination campaign gearing up across the nation.
The plan comes as the rate of the nation’s population who have received their first vaccine jabs reached 16.5 percent as of Wednesday.
Kim pointed to the state of severe deterioration of the air travel and tourism industries badly hit by the pandemic while noting that the number of people hoping for a resumption of overseas tours was growing.
