In 2022, the actual number of Chinese tourists traveling to South Korea for medical treatments rose to nearly 44 thousand, making up the second largest share of medical tourists to South Korea. A total of around 248.1 thousand foreigners came to South Korea that year as medical tourists, one of the lowest numbers in nearly a decade. All types of tourism were affected by the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, leading to a large decrease in medical tourists coming to the country. South Korea is a popular destination for medical tourism since it offers advanced medical facilities and technology at lower costs compared to other major countries.
