Vietnam most favoured for Koreans tourists

Vietnam ranks second among preferred travel destinations for travellers from the Republic of Korea during the Mid-Autumn holiday, with a rate of 18%.

The survey on foreign travel intentions during the holidays was conducted from August 1-7 among 1,270 Korean people aged 18 and over who have travelled through Incheon International Airport in the past five years.

It revealed that Korean travellers prioritise destinations based on factors such as short flight distances, low exchange rates, and cost-effectiveness.

About 11.2% of respondents said they plan to travel abroad during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the highest percentage since the first survey conducted in 2020.

Among those surveyed, 60.9% of them expressed a desire to travel with family and relatives, 20.5% with friends or partners, 12.6% alone, and 4% with colleagues./.
