From 23rd Last Year to the Top Spot, Gaining Spotlight as the Best City for Untact Travel
[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 8th that it was selected as the No. 1 summer vacation travel destination satisfaction nationwide in the ‘2021 Summer Vacation Travel Destination Satisfaction Survey.’
The travel research institute ‘Consumer Insight’ conducted the ‘2021 Domestic Summer Vacation Satisfaction’ survey on 18,081 respondents who answered that they had taken a domestic summer vacation (June to August) of one night or more this year, regarding their satisfaction with summer vacation destinations and their willingness to recommend those destinations.
Suncheon City ranked first with a total satisfaction score of 805 points in this survey.
After ranking first in 2018, Suncheon experienced a decline but recorded the largest increase (85 points) among all cities and counties this year, jumping from 23rd place last year to the top spot.
As the trend of untact small-scale travel preferring rest in nature away from urban areas continues after COVID-19, Suncheon’s charm was analyzed to be its ability to enjoy various untact travels at representative tourist spots such as Suncheonman National Garden and wetlands, Naganeupseong Folk Village, and Waon Beach.
An official from Suncheon City’s Tourism Division said, “This satisfaction survey is an important indicator showing that Suncheon is the city that fits the with-COVID travel trends of slowness, pause, leisure, and healing,” and added, “We will do our best to create a safe travel environment and improve tourist satisfaction to maintain our status as the nation’s top tourist city.”
