This is the outcome of a survey on foreign travel intentions during the holidays, conducted from August 1-7 among 1,270 Korean people aged 18 and over who have travelled through Incheon International Airport in the past five years.
The survey revealed that Korean travelers prioritize destinations based on factors such as short flight distances, low exchange rates, and cost-effectiveness.
11.2% of respondents said they plan to travel abroad during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the highest percentage since the first survey conducted in 2020.
The intention to travel abroad among Korean people has steadily increased from 1% to 3% in recent years.
This year’s Chuseok holiday lasts from September 13 to September 18.
