Where foreign visitors went (Aug 26 – Sep 1)
Foreign visitors counted by mobile-phone roaming data, per province/metro city, for the latest week the Korea Tourism Organization has published (it runs about a month behind). Each day’s count is added up, so someone who stays three days counts three times; the change is against the week before.

|---|---|---|
| Seoul | 1,245k | -9% |
| Incheon | 852k | -8% |
| Gyeonggi | 565k | -8% |
| Busan | 473k | -6% |
| Jeju | 366k | -9% |
| Gyeongnam | 208k | -1% |
| Gwangju & Jeonnam | 172k | -3% |
| Gyeongbuk | 127k | +2% |

FAQ
How current is this page?
Festivals and events are re-checked every day; news items are refreshed every three days and only kept if the source was published within the last 45 days and the link still opens. Visitor numbers lag about a month because that is when the Korea Tourism Organization publishes them.
Are these recommendations?
No. We list what official data and recent news say is on or new; we have not visited each place. Check opening hours and dates on the linked source before you go.
Sources: Korea Tourism Organization festival data (TourAPI), big-data visitor counts (SK Telecom mobile data) and district destination rankings (Tmap navigation), all via data.go.kr; news items are linked to the outlet that reported them. Page rebuilt 2026-10-01.
