This time, we have summarized the overseas travel trends for GW in 2024 based on the reservation history of “NEWT”. April 29, 2023 marked the 1st anniversary of the de facto abolition of border measures during the coronavirus pandemic, and this year’s characteristics include the fact that three weekdays were sandwiched during Golden Week, resulting in holidays being spread over the first and second half of the week. There is a movement where people are taking a trip overseas and using one of them for rest. Although South Korea continues to be the most popular destination, bookings for countries other than South Korea are also on the rise compared to last year. Also, from the perspective of the international economy, it is considered expensive to travel overseas due to the weak yen and rising inflation rates overseas, but staying at luxury hotels in areas where prices are lower than Japan, such as Southeast Asia and East Asia. You can see the ingenuity in finding the area. Also, as domestic hotel prices are skyrocketing due to the increase in inbound tourists, it may be a smart choice to travel overseas for cheaper than traveling domestically.
In addition, it is also recommended to take advantage of the timing when travel demand subsides after Golden Week and take a trip abroad at a good price. Use digital technology to make smart reservations and create an overseas trip that meets your needs!
■South Korea was the most popular destination for overseas tours during Golden Week at 36.7%, indicating that the desire to travel to Asia remains high.
NEWT’s increase/decrease in the number of reservations during Golden Week has grown significantly by +240% compared to the previous year. Looking at the booking status for overseas tours in 2024, South Korea (36.7%) was the most popular, followed by Taiwan (25.1%) and Hong Kong (8.2%). In 2023, the majority were South Korea (53.2%), but in 2024, there was a tendency to expand to areas other than South Korea. Furthermore, in terms of regions, the majority are from Asia at 85.7%, indicating that nearby areas are deeply popular.

■Korean tours can fulfill any request from cost-effective travel to luxury travel.
The reason why Korean tours are so popular is that they are easily accessible from Tokyo in about 2 hours and 30 minutes by plane, and because the country is reasonably compact, it is casual enough to be enjoyed even for 2 to 3 nights, making it popular among young people. It seems to be producing. Furthermore, when analyzing the reservation status by hotel rank, there is a tendency for a good balance of reservations from 2 stars to 4 stars, and it seems that it is an all-in-one hotel that can accommodate any travel style, from cost-performance travel to luxury travel.

■Korea has the highest number of U29 players as well. Stay at a 5-star hotel at a great price in cheap Indonesia or Thailand
Focusing on the travel trends of U29s, Korea had the highest percentage, similar to all age groups. On the other hand, one difference from other generations was that there was an increase in reservations to Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Looking at the hotel rankings in Indonesia and Thailand, which are increasing in particular, 50% of reservations are for 5-star hotels, indicating a desire to spend a luxurious stay in low-cost areas.

Additionally, a trend unique to U29 is that compared to 2023, there has been an increase in travel to regions outside of Asia. There was a tendency for people in their mid-20s who were unable to go on a graduation trip due to the coronavirus pandemic to take a “revenge graduation trip” after working at a company for two to three years and saving up travel funds. In particular, there seems to be a focus on traveling to destinations farther away than Asia, in conjunction with Golden Week, when people can take a lot of time off.

Based on the results of the “NEWT Everyone’s Overseas Travel Survey 2024” conducted in December 2023 to predict the travel trends of the U29 generation, and the travel history of Golden Week, we have predicted popular destinations for summer vacation in 2024.
Overall, we expect further growth in travel to countries outside Asia. In the survey, areas outside Asia such as Hawaii, Spain, and the United States were ranked high, but inflation, which had been a factor in people refraining from traveling, is starting to subside. It is believed that this will finally revive the desire to travel to countries outside of Asia. Additionally, with the Paris Olympics coming up in the summer, people’s desire to travel to Europe is likely to increase.
