[Yanolja Research Brief] Vol. 2 Inbound & Outbound Tourism S. Korea in the 2024 H1

South Korea’s Tourism in 2024 H1: A Dynamic Recovery with New Opportunities Foreign Visitors Bounce Back Strongly, But Spending Dips The number of foreign tourists visiting South Korea surged to over 7.7 million in the first half of 2024, reaching 91.2% of the pre-pandemic peak in 2019-a remarkable 73.8% increase from the same period last year. Notably, tourists from long-distance regions like the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Oceania grew significantly, with countries such as the U.S., Germany, France, and Australia showing impressive gains. However, key Asian markets like China, Japan, and Thailand saw declines, leading to an overall drop in Asian visitors compared to 2019. Despite more visitors, average spending per tourist fell sharply to around $1,000, down 18.3% from 2019. This resulted in only a modest 8.3% increase in total tourism income compared to 2023, still 25.4% below 2019 levels.
