As it becomes easier to visit Korea with the electronic travel permit exemption (online version dated 29th), travel demand is expected to increase further.
According to the travel industry, recent air demand has fully recovered to the pre-corona level, but it is expected that the burden on customers will increase due to the rising air fares.
Toronto Travel Agency said, “The temporary exemption from electronic travel permit is good news for the travel industry, but ticket inquiries are already flooding.” “There is a big difference in air ticket prices for each round-trip itinerary, but round-trip fares until September are about $2,800. Recently, Economy class seats were sold for $4,600. Normally, Air Canada’s airfare was cheaper than Korean Air’s, but now it’s a similar situation.”
Paran Travel also said, “Until September, there were not enough seats and airfare went up considerably. The number of travelers coming to Toronto from Korea also increased rapidly.” Tickets for April are almost sold out.”
Both Sebang Travel and Paran Travel said, “The special sale starts at around $1,600 after mid-September, but there are still seats left.” It will continue to rise,” he said.
