The summer vacation season is approaching, but it is said that many people give up on their vacation due to the skyrocketing travel expenses.
The news that air ticket prices have risen sharply due to a surge in international oil prices has been reported several times.
In particular, some airline tickets are said to have increased by more than 60% in four months.
In the case of a round-trip ticket from Incheon to Los Angeles, the price of 1.5 million won four months ago is now 2.4 million won up to 3.7 million won.
As inflation and exchange rate rise overlap, the burden of travel expenses is increasing day by day.
Given this situation, some people are turning their attention to domestic travel.
Flights to Jeju Island have also doubled in price compared to a year ago.
For this reason, the term vacation has recently been coined, which is a combination of vacation and inflation.
As concerns about the re-spread of the coronavirus are added to the bekeflation, there are also forecasts that it will take some time for travel demand to normalize as it was before Corona 19.
