Last year, the number of flight ticket bookings made by South Korean female users increased by 37% compared to the previous year, and travel-related searches also rose by 65% during the same period. The most preferred overseas destinations among South Korean women travelers were Osaka and Fukuoka in Japan.

When choosing a travel destination, the most important factor for women travelers was found to be "safety."

Characteristics of solo female travelers were also identified. In South Korea, the age group with the highest proportion was 25 to 34, indicating that younger women are particularly active in solo travel. In contrast, in countries such as Italy and France, about 20% of solo female travelers were aged 50 or older, highlighting differences in age distribution by country.

Additionally, women were found to have significant influence in family travel as well. Women travelers often took the lead in planning family trips, and many expressed a willingness to pay extra for family-friendly travel conditions such as guaranteed family seating on flights, family package deals, or connecting rooms.
