Are you dreaming of a winter wonderland? Look no further! The Korea Travel Fiesta 2025 has just kicked off, bringing the enchanting experience of Korea closer to you just in time for the holiday season. Launched by the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) on Saturday, this event is designed to showcase the best of Korean winter travel—perfect for adventurous Filipinos ready to explore.
Embrace the Magic of Korean Winter
As we switch gears into the festive ‘ber-months’ in the Philippines, KTO’s Acting Vice President, Kim Nam Chun, expresses the vision perfectly: “This event aims to highlight the diverse charms of Korean tourism, particularly to inspire families to consider Korea as their next holiday destination.”
The Korea Travel Fiesta is not just a showcase; it’s an invitation to embrace the culture, traditions, and winter magic of Korea. Picture yourself dusting off the snow from a ski slope backdrop or experiencing the joy of cultural activities that bridge our two countries.
Exciting Deals Await You!
Hosted at the vibrant SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, visitors can dive into a world of exclusive travel deals. Airlines and travel agencies are offering fantastic packages, especially for ski resorts easily accessible from Seoul.
And that’s not all! Book your flights during the event and enjoy the charming “1+1 promotion.” Passengers can receive complimentary tickets to stunning destinations like Jeju Island or the dynamic city of Busan with every round-trip ticket purchased to Korea!
Experience Korea Up Close
But the Korea Travel Fiesta is about more than just planning your next getaway. It offers the chance to soak in the magic of Korean culture right here at home. Visitors can don a beautiful hanbok, get a personalized skin or color analysis, or even have a fun cartoon portrait created by talented Korean artists.
Kim passionately hopes, “Through these programs, we want to inspire you to plan a memorable Christmas holiday with your family in Korea. There’s so much to enjoy in Korea’s rich cultural tapestry.”
A Growing Connection
The excitement doesn’t stop there! The visitor numbers tell the story. In 2024, Filipino tourists to South Korea skyrocketed by 51% compared to the previous year, reaching an impressive 520,000! Kim notes, “This is the largest volume among Southeast Asian countries, and we anticipate even more active tourism exchange in the future.”
An Invitation to Explore
The Philippines’ Department of Tourism Secretary, Christina Frasco, echoes this sentiment, encouraging more visits from both sides. “I invite our Filipino friends to explore the wonders of Korea and welcome our Korean friends to discover the beauty and warmth of the Philippines,” she said through Undersecretary Shahlimar Hofer Tamano.
With new direct flights connecting South Korea to popular destinations like Cebu, Clark, Davao, Panglao, and Kalibo, traveling is now more convenient than ever!
An Unforgettable Experience Awaits
As part of the event, attendees were treated to captivating performances by the Korean cast of the musical “Dream High,” featuring beloved stars like ZE:A’s Kim Dongjun and Wonder Girls’ Sunye. The martial arts group K-Tigers impressed everyone with stunning taekwondo skills, while Infinite’s Kim Myungsoo brought fans to their feet with heartwarming songs.
