Why It Matters

濟州島作為國際旅遊勝地,近期外國遊客比例顯著上升,同時伴隨當地失蹤案件與治安疑慮的討論。

南韓濟州島已成為國際旅遊勝地,但一些韓國人對此頗有微詞。從他們的口中,可以聽到諸如「濟州島已經徹底淪為中國人的遊樂場」之類的憤世嫉俗的評論。今年8月,外國遊客中,中國遊客佔比最高達64.6%,其次是台灣10.1%。

今年夏天,濟州島發現了一系列失蹤人口的遺體,同時警方也被曝出處理失蹤人口報案不當。雖然所有案件都沒有證實有謀殺,但島上卻流傳著「外國人犯罪」的謠言。這一切的背景是,由於外國遊客(主要來自中國)的激增,濟州島的面貌正在改變。

日媒Daily Shincho 駐韓記者盧敏河(Noh Min-ha)撰文表示,儘管是平日,濟州島市區仍熙熙攘攘,遊客絡繹不絕。但遊客的臉孔與以往截然不同,其中不乏外國人。

過去幾年,在濟州市中心和商業區,人們常聽到中文、越南語和印尼語。而如今,不僅在餐廳菜單上,在租車公司招牌和其他各種商店的標誌上,中文和東南亞語言也與韓語並列出現。尤其有許多產品和服務專門針對中國遊客,中文更是隨處可見。

濟州島已成為國際旅遊勝地,這固然是件好事,但一些韓國人批評「濟州島已經徹底淪為中國人的遊樂場」。

濟州島上曝光的失蹤和死亡案件進一步激怒了韓國民眾。除了警方的不當行為外,關於外國人數量增加與「公共安全」之間關係的討論也開始出現,問題逐漸蔓延開來。

根據濟州市和濟州旅遊協會發布的濟州島遊客統計數據,今年8月濟州島遊客數量基本持平,僅比去年同期下降0.1%。儘管如此,外國遊客數量卻比去年同期增加了10.9%,達到26萬8970人次,佔總遊客數的20.1%。

另一方面,韓國遊客數量有所下降。 8月到訪濟州島的韓國遊客為107萬2403人次,比去年同期下降了2.5%。這一下降趨勢從5月持續到7月,甚至到了9月,遊客數量仍然低於去年同期水準。

7月濟州島遊客人數比去年同期減少8萬4000人次。其中,韓國遊客減少了9萬人次,而外國遊客增加了6000人次。韓國遊客數量下降的主要原因是機票價格降低和國內航班運力減少等因素。在韓國遊客數量減少的同時,外國遊客數量卻在增加。而其中很大一部分是中國遊客。

去年,濟州島共接待224萬2187名外國遊客,其中中國遊客158萬8107人,約佔總數的70%。今年8月,按國家和地區劃分的外國遊客中,中國遊客佔比最高,達64.6%,其次是台灣(10.1%)、香港(2.9%)和日本(2.4%)。這印證了韓國人所說的「濟州島已成為中國人的遊樂場」的說法。

Open Questions

  • 當地政府將採取何種措施應對治安疑慮?
  • 韓國遊客減少的長期趨勢是否會持續?

All U.S. B-1 bombers withdraw from the UK; Rubio: Has nothing to do with Iran’s terrorist attack

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said that the U.S. military's withdrawal of 12 B-1 bombers from Royal Air Force Base Fairford in the United Kingdom has nothing to do with Iran's suspected premeditated terrorist attack. NATO sources said Iran still posed a threat to British and US assets, but Iran's foreign minister denied links. British police detained five men and a British-Iranian dual national suspect, but no explosives were found and all suspects were released on bail.
