A data analysis from Kyowon Tour reveals the top international travel destinations preferred by South Koreans during the May Golden Holiday, which goes from May 1 to May 6. Europe claimed the top spot, driven by a growing demand for long-haul trips, followed by Vietnam, favored for family travel, particularly to destinations like Nha Trang and Phu Quoc. China ranked third, boosted by scenic areas like Zhangjiajie and Mt. Baekdu. Meanwhile, Japan saw a decrease in demand due to a strong yen, securing the sixth position. Kyowon Tour anticipates short-distance destinations like Southeast Asia and Taiwan to see a rise in new bookings leading up to the holiday.
