During the recent Lunar New Year holiday, Jeju Island witnessed an unexpected increase in both domestic and international tourists. Despite past challenges such as the THAAD incident and the pandemic affecting its tourism popularity, the number of visitors surpassed expectations, particularly with a 55% rise in foreign tourists. However, experts indicate that the cost-effectiveness of visiting Jeju is still low, discouraging more substantial tourist influx. To attract more visitors, the island must develop competitive pricing strategies and diversified tourism products. The domestic tourist decline impacts the local economy, with other destinations like Gangwon-do showing increased interest from travelers.
