Are you ready for your next unforgettable winter getaway? Mark your calendars because the Korea Travel Fiesta 2025 is here! Launched by the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) on Saturday, this vibrant event celebrates winter and family travel, perfect for Filipinos looking for the ultimate holiday destination.
“Imagine experiencing the enchanting charms of Korean tourism just in time for the Christmas season,” shared Kim Nam Chun, KTO’s Acting Vice President of Tourism Content Strategy Division. He emphasized that as the Philippines enters the much-loved ‘ber-months’, this fiesta is designed to ignite your wanderlust and introduce you to the wonders of Korea.
Adventure Awaits at SM Mall of Asia
Head over to the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall where a world of travel opportunities awaits! You’ll find attractive deals from airlines and travel agencies, along with exciting packages to ski resorts, all easily accessible from Seoul.
Here’s a special treat: if you book your flights at the event, you’ll be eligible for the “1+1 promotion.” Purchase a roundtrip ticket to Korea, and you’ll receive free tickets to stunning destinations like Jeju Island or Busan. How amazing is that?
Immerse Yourself in Korean Culture
But that’s not all! Get ready for unique experiences that allow you to dive into Korean culture. Try on a hanbok, the traditional Korean attire, get a skin or color analysis, or even be cartoonized by talented Korean artists.
Kim added, “Our hope is that these experiences inspire you to plan a memorable Christmas holiday with your loved ones in Korea. This event is all about enjoying the richness of Korea’s cultural and tourism offerings while gaining exclusive insights and benefits on destinations and travel products.”
A Growing Connection Between Nations
Last year, a significant surge in Filipino tourists heading to South Korea was noted—a 51% increase from the previous year, with 520,000 Filipinos making the journey in 2024. “The tourism exchange is thriving between our two countries,” Kim remarked, looking forward to even more growth in the future.
A Warm Invitation
In a heartfelt message, Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco encouraged Filipinos to discover the treasures of South Korea, while welcoming Koreans to experience the warmth and beauty of the Philippines. Through a representative, she highlighted both countries’ pledge to promote sustainable tourism, along with exciting new direct flights from South Korea to various Philippine destinations such as Cebu, Clark, Davao, Panglao, and Kalibo.
Spectacular Performances to Remember
The event was also a feast for the senses! The Korean cast of “Dream High” mesmerized the crowd with a series of performances, bringing to life the iconic theme song. The martial arts group K-Tigers left everyone in awe with their thrilling taekwondo display, culminating in a lively performance of songs from the Netflix hit “K-Pop Demon Hunters.” As if that wasn’t enough, Infinite’s Kim Myungsoo captivated fans with his melodic hits, including “What’s Not To Love” and “My Universe.”
