Statistics from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of S Korea showed that the country received 4.76 million foreign visitors in 1Q26, up 23% YoY and marking a record high for the same period. Among them, foreign arrivals in March reached 2.06 million, setting a new all-time monthly record.

By country and region, visitors from mainland China accounted for the largest share at 1.45 million, followed by 940,000 from Japan. Long-haul travelers from the US and Europe totaled 690,000, indicating a diversification trend in inbound tourism sources. Among them, arrivals from Taiwan recorded the fastest growth, surging 37.7%. The ministry attributed the increase in inbound visitors to factors including the global popularity of K-culture, despite instability in the Middle East.

The cruise tourism market also showed a clear recovery momentum. In 1Q26, 338 cruise ship calls were recorded at major ports including Jeju, Busan and Incheon, up 52.9% YoY. Over the same period, foreign arrivals via regional airports rose 49.7% YoY. The regional visit rate of inbound tourists (referring to the proportion of visitors who traveled to non-capital areas at least once during their stay) reached 34.5%, up 3.2 ppts YoY.

In addition, foreign visitors card spending in S Korea totaled KRW3.21 trillion (approximately HKD17.115 billion), up 23% YoY. Overall satisfaction among inbound tourists reached 90.8 points, rising 1.1 points YoY. (hc/u)~
