Foreign tourists who visited Seoul in 2023 stayed an average of six days and spent about 2.84 million won, or about 2.57 thousand dollars (230 thousand rubles), KBS World reported on June 17.
According to a survey by the Seoul Tourism Organization conducted in 2023 among more than 1,600 foreign visitors to the city, their average length of stay was 6.05 days, compared to 5.11 days recorded in 2019.
The average amount spent of 2.84 million won (185,000 rubles), including airfare, was also higher compared to the average amount of 1.89 million won (120,000 rubles) spent in 2019.
The increase in length of stay and amount spent is believed to be due to an increase in the number of tourists from Europe and America and a decrease in the number of tourists from other Asian countries.
97.4% of international visitors said they spent time in the city enjoying good food. 70.4% claimed to have visited royal palaces and other historical sites.
