The average accommodation price for accommodations in the Busan area where the group BTS (Bangtan Boys) is scheduled to perform in June has jumped 2.4 times, with some accommodations charging up to 7.5 times the price of the week prior.
韓国消費者院は、6月にBTSの公演を控えた釜山地域のホテル、モーテル、ペンションなど135施設の宿泊料金を調査した結果、公演が行われる週の週末(6月13~14日)の1泊平均宿泊料金が43万3999ウォンで、前週と翌週の2.4倍に確認されたと13日に明らかにした。
By type of accommodation, motels saw the highest increase, nearly 3.3 times the normal rate, followed by hotels at 2.9 times and pensions at 1.2 times.
Looking at individual accommodation facilities, some facilities charged 7.5 times the fees for the performance week compared to the previous and following weeks, an increase of 650%, and 10% of facilities surveyed charged fees more than five times the normal rate.
Accommodation prices increased more rapidly the closer a hotel was to the performance venue or the closer it was to transportation hubs.
The average weekly rate for accommodations within 10km of Busan Station was 3.2 times higher than normal, and at accommodations around Busan Sasang Intercity Bus Terminal it jumped 3.4 times. The rate of price increases at accommodations around Haeundae Beach and Gwangalli Beach was relatively low.
In 2022, accommodation prices within a 5km radius of Busan Asiad Main Stadium, where BTS will perform, rose to 3.5 times their normal levels, while accommodation prices within a 20km radius more than doubled. |
