2. Tourism industry showing signs of improvement
Seat occupancy rates on flights increases by 30%

The tourism industry is beginning to show small signs of recovery. The number of domestic tourists to the island has increased for the first time since the figures declined sharply due to COVID-19.

According to a statement released by the province, 26,000 people traveled to Jeju on the 16th, which is a 27% decrease compared to the same period last year.

However, this is an improvement as the rate of decrease has been 45% on average after the outbreak. It is the first time the rate fell below 30%.

The seat occupancy rate on flights to Jeju increased from 50% to 80% during the last weekend, showing a sign of recovery.
