Busan Hotel Rates Surge Fivefold Ahead of November Fireworks Festival
· Reviewed by the editor
Accommodations around Gwangalli Beach and Haeundae in Busan have significantly raised room rates ahead of the 21st Busan Fireworks Festival scheduled for November 7. Three-star beachfront hotel rooms with bridge views are listing for up to 980,000 won (approximately $700) for two guests and 1.3 million won (approximately $929) for four guests. High-end five-star rooms are commanding around 2 million won (approximately $1,429) per night, drawing criticism over event-season price gouging.
So what
If you plan to attend the Busan Fireworks Festival, book transit and rooms immediately or reserve inland accommodation near metro line 2 to avoid extreme markups.
