According to a report conducted by digital travel platform Agoda, a 36% increase in outbound travel from the Republic of Korea was recorded this Liberation Day in comparison to the same period from last year. 

Japan stood out as the most popular overseas destination for Korean tourists, occupying the top three spots, with Fukuoka leading Tokyo in second and Osaka in third. The Japanese destinations are followed Nha Trang in Vietnam and Bangkok of Thailand.

This comes after Nha Trang city and Phu Quoc island city in the southern province of Kien Giang were also listed among the three most popular international destinations for Korean tourists, according to a survey unveiled by Korean news outlet Rankify Korea.

Known for the friendliness of its people, Nha Trang city is flanked by nearly 10km of white-sand coastline, with clear waters being warm all year round for visitors to enjoy.

Along with offering beautiful beaches, the city attracts visitors with its pagodas, temple towers, and marine world display.
