Hana Tour announced that it will launch the 'Nth Trip' promotion, which combines both popularity and freshness, following the travel trend of revisiting preferred countries. The Nth Trip is a product designed for those who want to revisit previously visited destinations with a new itinerary. It combines best-selling products with unique elements not seen before. Last month, Hana Tour held an event titled 'Nth Place Visited? You Have to Go N Times' to identify repeat travel destinations among its members. Analyzing about 2,000 comments, the most desired repeat destinations were Japan (28%), Vietnam (11%), Thailand (7%), and France (7%). The top reason for preference was environmental factors such as nature, architecture, and culture, accounting for 36%. This was followed by personal factors (31%), experiential factors (11%), and culinary factors (8%). In fact, among customers who visited Japan in the past two years, 47% traveled to Japan again this year. Repeat visit rates for Europe, Vietnam, and Thailand were 24%, 23%, and 17%, respectively. Hana Tour structured its Japan products around small cities such as Takamatsu, Matsuyama, Alpen Route, and Toyama, allowing travelers to fully experience local charm beyond major cities. For Vietnam, instead of the well-known Da Nang and Nha Trang, they planned products for the hidden gem, the Sapa region. The Thailand itinerary includes cooking classes reflecting culinary elements, and Europe offers visits to Andorra, Monaco, and the South of France, emphasizing environmental factors.
