South Korea
Book accommodations early as tourist demand increases
As of late October 2026, South Korea is experiencing record foreign tourist arrivals, estimated to exceed 20 million by November. This surge will likely strain availability in hotels and private rentals, especially in Seoul. To secure your preferred lodging, prioritize bookings now, as options may become limited quickly. It is wise to confirm all reservations soon.
