South Korea's hot spring industry, recovering from the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, has seen a resurgence in visitors, with numbers increasing by 24% to 58.42 million last year. The government's support through designations like 'Hot Spring Cities' and 'Health Promoting Hot Springs' has been instrumental in this recovery. Major hot spring festivals, including the Suanbo and Bugok festivals, are set to begin after being delayed due to wildfires. These festivals invite visitors to experience the unique healing properties of Korean hot springs and enjoy related cultural events amidst the beauty of spring blossoms.
