With the long holiday in May, domestic travel demand in Korea has significantly increased, leading to high reservation rates at major hotels, resorts, and restaurants across the country. Reservation rates at key hotel chains such as Chosun Hotel & Resort, Lotte Hotel & Resort, and Walkerhill Hotel & Resort have hit nearly full capacity. High-end hotel buffet restaurants, including Lotte Hotel's 'La Seine' and Walkerhill's 'The Buffet', are also seeing near full bookings despite prices approaching 200,000 won (approximately $150 USD). Budget-friendly family restaurants like Ashley Queens are popular as well, with reservations rapidly filling up due to the ongoing demand spurred by high exchange rates and the long, patchy holiday period encouraging domestic travel over international trips.
