Within Europe, Western Europe was the most preferred region at 43%, followed by Spain (21%) and Eastern Europe (18%). By departure date, 28% of travelers chose to depart on the first day of the holiday, September 28, while 19% departed the day before the holiday, September 27. The second day of the holiday, September 29, accounted for 14%.

Although there are more than six months left until the departure date, many 'early bird' customers have rushed to make reservations. The company explained that the reservation rate for European packages prepared by Hana Tour during this period is about 60%. Some packages have already sold out early, and around 80 packages have confirmed departures.

A Hana Tour representative stated, "With the recovery of overseas travel sentiment and the long holiday coinciding, travel packages across Europe available during this Chuseok holiday are quickly selling out," adding, "We are also receiving many additional inquiries from customers and are considering securing charter flights."
