一 | [전북=뉴시스] 무주 항공ㆍ우주산업 투자선도지구 사업 조감도. *재판매 및 DB 금지[무주=뉴시스]최정규 기자 = 전북특별자치도는 총사업비 3488억원 규모의 '무주 항공·우주산업 투자선도지구' 지정과 산업단지 조성을 뒷받침할 전담 행정지원 체계를 가동했다고 26일 밝혔다.전북도는 '무주 투자선도지구 신속행정지원 TF팀'을 구성하고, 첫 회의를 시작으로 운영에 들어갔다. 대규모 예산과 복잡한 인허가 절차가 뒤따르는 사업인 만큼, 부서와 기관에 흩어져 있던 협의 창구를 하나로 모아 선제적으로 대응하겠다는 취지다.TF팀은 사업 성패를 가를 산지전용 규제 완화와 산업단지 지정 협의 등을 한번에 풀어내는 역할을 맡는다. 도 건설정책과장을 팀장으로 ▲총괄운영반(도 지역개발팀) ▲사업추진반(무주군·현대로템㈜·총괄PM) ▲사업지원반(도 관계 부서 8개 팀) 등 3개 반 총 16명으로 꾸려졌다. 사업지원반에는 도시계획·기업유치·산단조성·산림보호·농지·자연복구지원·물류·유산자원팀이 참여한다. 운영 기간은 이달부터 지구 지정과 산단 착공 때까지로, 매월 정기 회의를 열고 현안이 생길 때마다 수시 회의를 소집한다.이번 회의에서는 사업 추진 현황과 행정절차 일괄 추진 로드맵을 공유하고, 산지전용 완화 방안과 부서·기관별 역할 분담, TF팀 운영 체계를 확정했다.도는 산지전용 문제는 법에서 평균경사 등 허가기준을 자치단체조례로 완화 할 수 있으므로 이에 대한 추진방안을 검토하고, 편입 토지 매입과 사업시행 특수목적법인(SPC) 구성 등 쟁점 사안도 조기에 조율할 방침이다.TF팀장인 김용수 건설정책과장은 "무주 항공·우주산업 투자선도지구는 첨단 미래산업 생태계와 지역 균형발전을 이끌 핵심 거점"이라며 "관계 부서와 무주군, 선도기업인 현대로템이 유기적으로 협력해 행정절차를 단축하고 도민이 체감하는 성과를 내겠다"고 말했다.。

For many overseas travelers arriving in Shanghai, the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower are no longer the first stops on their itineraries. Instead, they head straight to the South Bund Soft Spinning Material Market, where custom-tailored outfits have become a signature experience driving "Chinamaxxing," a viral lifestyle trend popular among global travelers.
The market buzzed with energy, with conversations in various foreign languages echoing across storefronts, when a Global Times reporter visited it on a work day.
Tourists from different countries take body measurements, browse design references, and discuss tailoring preferences with local shopkeepers.
Evolving from the time-honored Dongjiadu cloth market, the area now hosts more than 280 fabric vendors and tailor studios, forming a complete industrial ecosystem for custom apparel.
Inside one local shop, two foreign tourists excitedly tried on a series of Tang-style garments, taking photos of their favorite looks before professional tailors record precise measurements for their custom-fit clothing.
Gabbo, an Italian traveler, told the Global Times that he first discovered the market through TikTok and Instagram. As silk markets in Shanghai have grown popular among Italian tourists, he and his travel companion Nicco came specifically to shop for authentic traditional Chinese garments and premium silk pieces.
"I picked out a brown Tang-style jacket and a white shirt, while Nicole got matching white shorts. We wanted to try something new and plan to wear our custom outfits out tonight because the styles are very fashionable," Gabbo said. "The bespoke measuring service is professional and thoughtful, and the whole shopping experience has been wonderful."
Intl tourists emerge as a major force
Benefiting from China's visa-free policy covering Italy, the pair only needed to submit standard tourist documents for entry. They plan to stay in China for roughly two weeks to explore local culture and lifestyles.
Local tailor shop owners have witnessed a striking surge in overseas customer demand. Driven by expanded visa-free policies and viral social media exposure, growing numbers of foreign tourists come to the market for original Chinese-style custom clothing.
According to shop owner Li, international visitors now account for 30 to 40 percent of her clientele, a dramatic reversal from previous years when domestic customers dominated orders.
"We source fabrics directly from suppliers and hire in-house tailors to eliminate middleman markups. Our bespoke pieces cost only one-third of similar custom outfits in Western countries," Li explained. The shop also offers expedited services tailored for short-stay travelers, allowing visitors to pick up finished garments within days.
All garments feature original in-house designs that retain classic Tang-style outlines with soft, wearable color tones suitable for daily wear. Many foreign customers style the traditional jackets with casual trousers and sneakers, creating unique, modern outfits that blend Eastern aesthetics and Western casual fashion, Li said.
Qian, another tailor with 20 years of industry experience, has also seen robust growth in overseas orders, with her annual order volume rising 20 percent year-on-year.
Most foreign visitors come for custom-tailored suits and enjoy the full immersive bespoke production process. Her workshop divides labor for suits, shirts and dresses to boost efficiency, once completing a full set of custom clothes and delivering them to a tourist's hotel by 10 p.m. on the very day of ordering. The studio also accepts personalized design drafts brought by international visitors.
Backed by the mature textile supply chain of the Yangtze River Delta, hand-tailored suits at the market cost merely one-quarter of equivalent bespoke outfits in Europe, with 24-hour rush order services available. This year, market foot traffic has increased roughly 30 percent year-on-year, with foreign shoppers making up 60 percent of all customers, the Global Times learned from the market.
Behind the change are China's visa-free policies. China's 240-hour visa-free transit policy covering 55 countries has greatly facilitated cross-border travel. Official data shows China received 22.91 million inbound foreign visits in the first half of 2026, a year-on-year increase of 20.4 percent, China Media Group reported.
From short-term visits to lasting influence
Boosted by China's visa-free policies, the social media trend "Chinamaxxing" has gone viral worldwide. Easier cross-border travel has allowed young foreigners to immerse themselves deeply in authentic Chinese lifestyles, including traditional fitness practices, Chinese dramas and local food culture.
Beyond garment customization, Shanghai's inbound tourism experience sector continues to expand. Spring Travel recently launched hands-on traditional snack workshops for foreign visitors, focusing on wonton and spring roll making. Tourists can cook, taste homemade snacks and learn the cultural stories behind local cuisine.
The workshops have received visitor groups from the US, Brazil and Australia and earned wide praise, the Global Times learned from Spring Travel.
Sugiurat Akuto, one foreign participant, said that making Shanghai snacks left him with precious travel memories. Before leaving China, he asked chefs for original recipes, hoping to recreate authentic Chinese delicacies at home and share his unique Shanghai travel experience with family and friends.
Unlike disposable souvenir purchases during routine sightseeing, custom-tailored clothes and learnable cultural skills turn short travel experiences into enduring cross-cultural connections. "These custom outfits will remain precious memories for decades. Even 20 years later, we will still remember custom-tailoring clothes in China. Every time I see these garments in my wardrobe, I will recall this special trip," Gabbo said, adding that distinctive local custom pieces are far more valuable than ordinary travel souvenirs.
Industry analysts note that the Chinamaxxing phenomenon marks a structural upgrade in China's inbound tourism consumption. Driven by optimized visa policies, foreign travelers are shifting from superficial landmark sightseeing to high-value, personalized immersive experiences. Longer stays and upgraded consumption drive coordinated growth of modern service industries and inject new vitality into China's service economy.
Research by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce shows that inbound tourists who opt for customized consumption stay an average of six to seven days in Shanghai, more than double the city's average 3.21-day stay for general foreign visitors.
Current cultural tourism experiential products represent only the initial stage of this emerging industry. China's rich cultural resources can be continuously developed into high-quality, replicable tourism offerings for global audiences, Zhang Yi, CEO of iiMedia Research, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
Most importantly, the Chinamaxxing trend boosts people‑to‑people exchanges. One‑off on‑site travel purchases translate into steady overseas demand and repeat orders, helping international audiences gain deeper insight into China's charm, Zhang noted.
