South Korea
Plan for medical services in Seoul this month
Foreign tourists’ spending in South Korea surged by 53.6% in early 2026, mainly due to a boom in medical tourism. In particular, spending on medical services nearly doubled with dermatology leading the way. Visitors interested in cosmetic or dermatological services should plan their schedules well in advance, as demand is high, particularly in districts like Gangnam, Seocho, and Jung where many clinics are located. Those uninterested in medical procedures might find these areas busier than usual, so alternative plans may be needed for a more relaxed visit.
