South Koreans are more likely to travel domestically than abroad during the upcoming six-day Chuseok holiday, the longest in six years, a recent survey showed Wednesday. According to a weekly survey on travel plans and patterns conducted by the research firm Consumer Insight, among respondents going on trips during the Chuseok break, 16 percent plan to go on domestic trips while 4 percent plan to travel abroad. During the pandemic, the number of domestic travelers stayed at a steady level and even increased in some cases, but the trips at the time were not specifically planned for the Chuseok break, with the ratio of such trips remaining at about 10 percent. But this year, thanks to a long six-day break and government efforts to revitalize the local tourism industry, the number of domestic travelers soared to 16 percent, the highest number recorded after 2017's Chuseok season.
