Feeling inspired by Anne Curtis and Erwan Heussaff's latest photos in South Korea? Well, it seems that the stars have aligned! Getting into South Korea just became easier—Manila Bulletin reports that tourists who want to visit the land of K-beauty can do so visa-free. However, there's a catch: they need to enter the country through the YangYang International Airport in the Gangwon province, which is located 158 kilometers from Seoul.

This perk—to be enjoyed only by the three neighboring countries of South Korea, including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam—is part of their efforts to boost tourism, which has been suffering due to security and political issues. This is also to promote the upcoming Winter Olympic Games to be held in Pyeongchang in February 2018.

Finance minister Kim Dong-yeon explains in a news report, "Tourism is an important industry that creates more jobs than other sectors. The Winter Olympics is about 100 days away and the improved relations with China will give fresh momentum to the local tourism industry."
