In 2021, tourist hotels in South Korea received over 23.2 million Korean guests. A further 2.4 million overseas tourists stayed in hotels that year. While the tourism sector was severely impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the number of domestic guests already began to recover in 2021. Foreign guest numbers however, saw a drop of around 90.2 percent between 2019 and 2021.
