Following the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol, the South Korean tourism industry anticipates a revival after a four-month slump during the state of emergency. The impeachment marked the end of a period of heightened political tension which had previously prompted travel warnings, leading to a sharp decline in foreign visitor numbers and a drop in demand for overseas travel among Koreans. As the currency stabilizes and the stock market improves, the tourism sector is hopeful for a swift recovery, although planned protests pose a continued concern for safety and logistics.
