韩国外国游客提前两个月突破去年全年纪录：截至10月26日达1891万人次，韩国文化体育观光部称年内有望达2300万
韩国文化体育观光部 10 月 27 日宣布，今年到访韩国的外国游客已提前约两个月突破去年全年纪录。截至 10 月 26 日，累计外国游客暂计 1,891 万人次，按日均约 6.4 万人次计算，部方确认已超过去年全年的 1,894 万人次纪录；若趋势持续，11 月第三周累计将突破 2,000 万，全年有望达到年初设定的 2,300 万目标。
分市场看，今年 1 至 9 月外国游客累计 1,711 万人次、同比增长 21.5%，增幅高于日本、泰国等邻近目的地同期表现。其中大中华区游客同比增长 29.1%，日本与东南亚分别增长 16.9% 与 15.3%，美洲与欧洲增长 15.1%。外国游客在韩消费同期同比增长 47.7%，消费构成以购物占 37.0% 居首，其次是住宿 19.6%、医疗与健康服务 16.6%。
地方旅游同步升温：1 至 9 月经首都圈以外机场与港口入境的外国游客达 482 万人次，同比增长近 29%；外国游客在首都圈以外地区的到访量由 5,407 万增至 6,472 万、增幅约 20%。韩国政府将此归因于韩流文化扩散、旅游产品与服务改善、航线增加与签证放宽等因素，并提出 2030 年吸引 3,000 万、2033 年 4,000 万外国游客的目标。文化体育观光部长官 Choi Hwi-young 表示，提前两个月刷新纪录使年内 2,300 万的目标变得可行，政府将在数量增长之外注重旅游质量。
Foreign visitors to South Korea pass last year's full-year record two months early: 18.91 million as of October 26, ministry eyes 23 million for 2026
South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on October 27 that foreign visitors to South Korea this year have already surpassed last year's full-year record, roughly two months ahead of schedule. The provisional cumulative count stood at 18.91 million as of October 26; at an average of about 64,000 arrivals a day, the ministry confirmed the previous record of 18.94 million has been exceeded. If the trend continues, the cumulative total will pass 20 million in the third week of November and could reach the government's initial target of 23 million by year-end.
By market, foreign arrivals from January through September totaled 17.11 million, up 21.5% from the same period last year, a faster pace than neighboring destinations such as Japan and Thailand recorded. Visitors from the Greater China region rose 29.1%, while Japan and Southeast Asia rose 16.9% and 15.3%, and the Americas and Europe rose 15.1%. Foreign visitor spending in South Korea rose 47.7% over the same period, led by shopping at 37.0%, followed by accommodation at 19.6% and medical and wellness services at 16.6%.
Regional tourism also improved: 4.82 million foreign visitors entered through airports and ports outside the capital region from January to September, up nearly 29% from a year earlier, and foreign visits to regions outside the capital rose about 20%, from 54.07 million to 64.72 million. The government credits the spread of Korean culture, improved tourism products and services, expanded flights and eased visa issuance. Seoul aims for 30 million foreign visitors by 2030 and 40 million by 2033. Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young said breaking the record two months early makes the 23 million year-end goal feasible, and that the government will focus on quality as well as quantity.
