I can't understand how 多い is being used here. My literal translation is
"compared to last year, the 43% numerous 3.4 million people...".

My first thought was that it referred to the increase in numbers, but 43% more
Koreans than last year sounds too much. Then I thought maybe Koreans account
for 43% of total visitors but the maths tells me it's only around 25%.

I think my first thought is the most likely but I'm far from confident. I'd be
happier if it said もっと多い instead. Would this make sense?

Meaning of 多い in 去年より４３％多い３４０万人
3.4 million people is the total number of Korean visitors, which is a 43％
increase compared with last year. The 43% increase is not too much because the
relationship between China and Korea get worse, that is to say, Korean
tourists are choosing Japan instead of China.

I think もっと isn't necessary.
