Travelko Announces Popular Overseas Travel Destination Rankings! Busan, Korea Surges to 4th with 1.7x Year-on-Year Growth

Opendoor Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Daisuke Sekine), operator of the travel comparison site 'Travelko', has announced the popular overseas travel destination rankings for June 2026 based on site search data. ### Busan Surges from 7th to 4th; Short-haul Asia Searches Increase In the 'June 2026 Popular Overseas Travel Destination Rankings', there was an increase in searches for short-haul Asian regions where airfares can be kept relatively low against the backdrop of rising overseas travel costs. In particular, Busan's search volume increased by approximately 1.7 times compared to the same month last year, moving up from 7th to 4th place. *Calculated from search data on Travelko for travel dates June 1–30, 2026 (Search period: Feb 1 – Mar 31, 2026). Several factors contributed to the increase in searches for Busan. In terms of transportation, convenience improved with increased flights on existing routes and new services from regional airports such as Shizuoka and Takamatsu. In terms of accommodation, new hotel constructions and renovations have progressed, and cheaper accommodation costs compared to Seoul have become a cost advantage. For sightseeing, the latest facilities like 'Blue Line Park' and 'Haeundae LCT The Sharp' are attracting attention. Especially in June, the season is suitable for walking around outdoor landmarks like 'Gamcheon Culture Village' and 'Haeundae', and large-scale K-POP concerts are also scheduled. These factors worked together to lead to the growth in search volume. ### Recommendation to Book in April Ahead of May's Fuel Surcharge Increase Due to high crude oil prices, international fuel surcharges are scheduled to increase for tickets issued from May 2026 across various airlines. Those considering overseas travel can suppress their travel expense burden by completing reservations and ticket issuance within April. When traveling, please use Travelko's lowest price information and popular airline/hotel information along with this ranking. *Price information is a reference value on Travelko as of April 22, 2026, and prices fluctuate. ### 1st: Seoul - Lowest Prices and Popular Info (June) * **Round-trip Airfare (from Tokyo):** 17,100 JPY * **Tour (3D2N from Tokyo):** 27,800 JPY * **Popular Airlines:** Jeju Air (LCC) / 24,198 JPY; Korean Air (Non-LCC) / 41,962 JPY * **Popular Hotels:** Toyoko INN Seoul Gangnam (3-star) / 10,090 JPY; Migliore Hotel Seoul Myeongdong (4-star) / 13,580 JPY; Lotte Hotel Seoul (5-star) / 44,970 JPY ### 2nd: Honolulu - Lowest Prices and Popular Info (June) * **Round-trip Airfare (from Tokyo):** 66,813 JPY * **Tour (6D4N from Tokyo):** 135,200 JPY * **Popular Airlines:** ZIPAIR (LCC) / 66,813 JPY; Japan Airlines (Non-LCC) / 120,168 JPY * **Popular Hotels:** Ohia Waikiki Studio Suites (3-star) / 19,856 JPY; Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort (4-star) / 64,747 JPY; Ka La'i Waikiki Beach (5-star) / 71,710 JPY ### 3rd: Taipei - Lowest Prices and Popular Info (June) * **Round-trip Airfare (from Tokyo):** 28,583 JPY * **Tour (4D3N from Tokyo):** 38,600 JPY * **Popular Airlines:** Peach Aviation (LCC) / 30,090 JPY; China Airlines (Non-LCC) / 48,750 JPY * **Popular Hotels:** Hub Hotel - Zhongshan Branch (3-star) / 6,389 JPY; Caesar Park Hotel Taipei (4-star) / 14,780 JPY; Regent Taipei (5-star) / 26,376 JPY ### 4th : Busan - Lowest Prices and Popular Info (June) * **Round-trip Airfare (from Tokyo):** 22,900 JPY * **Tour (3D2N from Tokyo):** 31,800 JPY * **Popular Airlines:** LCC sector is showing significant growth.
