's friendly economy time.
Reporter Han Ji-yeon is here.
You said the government decided to increase the traveler's duty-free limit?
<Reporter>
Yes, one of the advantages of traveling abroad is shopping at duty-free shops.
In the meantime, per capita income has increased by 30%, and the purpose is to revive the tourism industry, which has been hit by the corona virus.
The current duty-free items are 1 bottle of alcohol, 60 milliliters of perfume, and 200 cigarettes, which is a total of 600 dollars. .
Each time the duty-free limit is increased, it takes about 10 years, and I think it is a little slow by raising 200,000 won and 200 dollars, but it is not low compared to the current OECD average of 566 dollars.
On the other hand, China and Japan, which are neighboring countries, are higher than Korea at US$770 and US$1,800, respectively.
The purchase limit, which was originally $5,000, was lifted in March.
