Market Background

Canada welcomed 246,000 visitors from South Korea in 2018, short of the record levels seen in 2017. However, South Korean travellers on average stayed longer (17 days) and spent more ($1,750) on their trips to Canada in 2018.

Korean leisure travellers are interested in a combination of city and nature-based experiences, including seeing natural attractions, trying local food and drink, going on culinary tours, spa and wellness centres, historical sites and art galleries & museums.

More than half (56%) of South Korean leisure travellers booked an organized group travel package on their most recent trip to Canada, predominantly via travel agents or tour operators online.
