With the Constitution Day holiday coinciding with the summer vacation season, domestic travel demand is expected to surge. This holiday, tourists ranging from families to couples and groups of friends are expected to visit various destinations, raising expectations for the revitalization of local economies and a boom in the accommodation and dining industries. In line with this, the tourism industry has prepared a variety of travel packages and events to welcome travelers.

Here are five major domestic destinations expected to draw the most visitors:

1. Jeju Island Jeju Island is considered a representative summer tourist destination as it offers beaches, oreum (volcanic cones), and natural scenery all at once. In particular, Hyeopjae Beach, Hamdeok Beach, and Seongsan Ilchulbong continue to be highly popular among family tourists.

2. Gangwon-do East Coast East Coast regions in Gangwon-do, such as Gangneung, Sokcho, and Yangyang, attract a concentration of summer visitors who can enjoy cool ocean views and a variety of local foods. Seoraksan National Park, Jumunjin Beach, and Anmok Beach are also drawing attention as popular tourist courses.

3. Busan Busan offers the charm of enjoying both urban and marine tourism simultaneously. Various attractions are available, including Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, the Songdo Marine Cable Car, and Gamcheon Culture Village. At night, tourists are expected to flock to enjoy the night view of the Gwangan Bridge.

4. Yeosu, Jeollanam-do Yeusu is evaluated as a region with steadily increasing visitors during the holiday period, as it offers the Yeosu Marine Cable Car, Odongdo, the night view of Dolsandaegyo Bridge, and a variety of seafood dishes.

5. Gyeongju If you want to experience history and culture together, Gyeongju is an excellent choice. Visitors can explore Silla cultural heritage sites such as Donggung and Wolji, Cheomseongdae, and Daereungwon. Recently, there has been a significant increase in young tourists visiting the area, especially around Hwangridan-gil.

Essential Checklist Before Traveling Experts predict that popular tourist destinations during the holiday may experience severe traffic congestion and intense competition for accommodation reservations. Therefore, when planning a trip, it is important to secure lodging and transportation in advance and avoid peak congestion hours.

A tourism industry official stated, "There is a tendency for demand to increase not only for short-distance trips but also for long-distance domestic travel using flights as the holiday period lengthens," adding, "Family travelers need to check safety guidelines and weather information in advance."

This Constitution Day holiday is expected to be a great opportunity to enjoy both relaxation and sightseeing during the hot summer. As tourist attractions across the country prepare to welcome visitors, the domestic tourism market is expected to see significant vitality.
