전년보다 45.9% 증가…미국·프랑스 관광객 큰 폭 증가

(부산=연합뉴스) 김선호 기자 = 올해 8월까지 부산을 방문한 외국인 관광객이 343만명을 넘어섰다. 지난해 연간 외국인 관광객이 처음으로 300만명을 돌파한 시점보다 두 달가량 빠르다.

부산시는 올해 1∼8월 부산을 찾은 외국인 관광객이 343만4천620명으로 집계됐다고 7일 밝혔다.

이는 지난해 같은 기간 235만4천267명보다 45.9% 증가한 수치다. 같은 기간 전국 증가율 21.6%의 두 배를 웃돈다.

국가별로는 미국·호주·프랑스 관광객 증가세가 두드러졌다.

이 기간 부산을 방문한 미국 관광객은 28만9천382명으로 전년 같은 기간 방문한 16만4천347명보다 76.1% 늘었다. 전국 증가율 10.8%와 비교하면 약 7배 높은 증가율이다.

호주 관광객도 4만8천455명이 부산을 찾아 지난해 3만3천775명보다 43.5% 증가했고, 프랑스 관광객은 3만8천941명이 방문해 전년 1만8천431명보다 111.3% 늘었다.

부산을 방문한 러시아 관광객도 16.5% 늘었다.

시는 이런 흐름을 양적 확장의 정점이 아니라 질적 성장으로 전환하는 시점으로 보고 있다.

지난달부터 KTX·SRT 통합 운영으로 부산 접근성도 개선됐다.

한 달간 부산역 이용객은 201만7천명으로 지난해 같은 달보다 8.9% 증가했다.

부산시는 하반기부터 단순 유치 확대보다 체류 기간 연장, 지역 소비 확산, 재방문율 제고에 초점을 맞춘 정책을 추진할 방침이다.

전재수 시장은 "한 번 찾은 관광객이 더 오래 머물고, 더 많이 소비하고, 다시 찾는 도시가 되도록 하겠다"고 말했다.
