Despite economic challenges like high exchange rates, international travel demand in Korea is increasing, focusing on short-distance destinations like Japan and China. In 2024, 88.92 million Koreans traveled internationally, a significant rise from 2023, nearing pre-pandemic levels. Japan leads as the top destination with 25.14 million visitors, followed by China with 13.77 million. Factors such as lower currency impact on short trips and visa-free policies in China have made these locations popular, especially among younger travelers. The trend is expected to continue as high exchange rates push travelers towards closer destinations for cost efficiency.
