Surge in Sales During Golden Week in South Korea
South Korea recorded a notable 53% increase in sales during the Golden Week period in 2026. This growth highlights the positive impact of heightened visitor activity during this key travel time.
Contribution of Japanese and Chinese Tourists to Growth
The rise in sales was attributed in large part to the influx of around 220,000 tourists from Japan and China. These visitors played a significant role in driving the tourism economy during Golden Week, a period traditionally marked by increased travel activity among these markets.
