According to a survey conducted in South Korea throughout 2023, January was the month with the most overnight stays with friends or family that year, at around 13.7 million. One of the country's most important holidays, "Seollal", also known as Korean New Year, fell in late January that year. It is the first day of the year based on the Lunar calendar, and is traditionally a holiday spent with family. Another major family holiday, "Chuseok" or "Hangawi", an autumn harvest festival, fell in late September. An important aspect of both celebrations is returning to one's hometown or family, which leads to a rise in domestic travel and accommodations use around the country.
