The beleaguered travel industry is on high alert once again amid the latest resurgence of COVID-19 fueled by the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants.
The lifting of social distancing restrictions in April and the resumption of many long-suspended events and festivities had extended a lifeline to the tourism sector, but all that is threatening to become undone by a fresh rebound in COVID-19 infections. In this week’s edition of ‘What is’, we assess the latest situation surrounding Korea’s travel industry and how it can overcome the latest challenges being posed by the ongoing pandemic.

2년 만에 침체에서 벗어나려 애쓰던 여행업계에 다시 적신호가 켜졌다. BA.4, BA.5 등 기존 바이러스에 비해 전염력이 강한 변이 바이러스가 출현하며 코로나19 재확산이 현실화됐기 때문이다.
지난 4월 이후 사회적 거리두기가 해제되면서 해외여행 수요는 증가했고 축제와 대형 이벤트들이 재개됐다. 하지만 7월 들어 코로나19가 재확산되면서 여행 관련 업종들은 또 다시 침체의 늪에 빠지지 않을까 우려하고 있다. 코로나19가 다시 확산하는 지금, 여행업계는 이 위기를 어떻게 극복할 것인가? 한국 사회에 화제가 되는 이슈들을 PD의 시각으로 바라보고 취재하는 본격 PD리포트 [왓 이즈]. This week, we will take a look at the current situation of the re-spreading of COVID-19, the tension in the travel industry, and the opinions of domestic and foreign experts.
