After South Korea introduced visa-free entry for Chinese tourists, Seoul eyewear brand Blue Elephant reported a roughly 1,500% increase in sales from Chinese customers. Store visits, purchase frequency, and average spend all rose, with more shoppers buying multiple items—driving a strong recovery in offline retail. The company says the store-level lift in visit and conversion rates reflects broader consumer recovery, and experts expect relaxed travel rules to help retail, fashion, and related industries. Blue Elephant plans to further enhance shopping experiences and services for international visitors.
