In 2023, October was the most popular month to visit South Korea, with around 1.2 million incoming visitors in that month. Overall there were about 11 million inbound tourists in total that year. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in 2020, the overall number of inbound visitors dropped sharply, as there were travel limitations and risks worldwide. There has since been some recovery within the industry.
