The number of overseas package reservations excluding airline tickets for departures in October was 84,578, a 304% increase compared to the same period last year. The company explained that this is the highest figure since February 2019, before the outbreak of COVID-19.


By region, Southeast Asia (46%) had the highest share, followed by Japan (25%), China (9%), Europe (9%), and South Pacific & Americas (8%). As autumn sets in and temperatures drop, the number of travelers to the warm, short-distance popular resort area of Southeast Asia increased by 22% compared to the previous month. The overseas package reservation rate for the winter season also continues to rise steadily with 229% in November, 154% in December, and 178% in January next year.



Woo Jun-yeol, Vice President of Modetour, said, "In October, overseas package bookings reached the highest level of the year due to the holidays starting from the Chuseok holiday at the end of September and the designation of October 2nd as a temporary holiday." He added, "We plan to continue offering various promotions with reasonable prices and abundant benefits, such as mega sales for the winter season and early bird sales for products departing next year."
