Jeong-won Kang, Director General of the Tourism Policy Bureau at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, stated regarding the inbound figures, "The steady increase in visitors from the Americas and Europe is a combined result of high recognition of K-culture, newly established promotional posts in emerging markets, and localized marketing. The ministry will strengthen local strategies tied to major international events and broaden the foundation of inbound tourism by expanding tailored products and improving convenience." The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Hwi-young Choi) announced that the cumulative number of foreign visitors in the first half of the year reached 10.71 million.
According to the ministry, inbound visitors from the Americas grew by 12.7% year-on-year to 1.08 million, while European visitors rose by 20.2% to 740,000 through June.
By country, visitors from the U.S. reached 810,000, while Germany and the U.K. surpassed 100,000 each. The ministry attributed this growth to new direct flight routes, Korean tourism promotional booths tied to BTS concerts and World Cup events, and newly added promotional branches in emerging markets like Poland and Sweden.
While diversifying target markets away from regional dependencies and expanding direct flight routes offers a plausible narrative for improving tourism resilience, skepticism remains.
Critics argue that taking full credit for visitor surges driven primarily by global K-content momentum borders on administrative showmanship. Rather than celebrating headcounts, the ministry needs practical measures, such as expanding intercity transit options to guide foreign visitors outside Seoul and streamlining local mobile payment systems.
