This exciting event, organized by the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO), was unveiled at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall last Saturday.
A Winter Wonderland Awaits
As the Philippines dives into the festive ‘ber-months,’ it’s time to start planning that memorable family holiday. KTO Acting Vice President of Tourism Content Strategy Division, Kim Nam Chun, shared the event’s mission: to unveil the enchanting allure of Korea, especially during the winter season. “We want to inspire you to experience the beauty of Korean tourism ahead of the holiday rush,” he said with palpable excitement.
Unmissable Travel Deals
Visitors to the Korea Travel Fiesta can explore fantastic travel deals from airlines and agencies. Imagine skiing on the picturesque slopes just a short ride from Seoul! Plus, if you book your roundtrip flights during the event, you can take advantage of the enticing “1+1 promotion.” This means free tickets to stunning destinations like Jeju Island or Busan—an alluring offer for any traveler!
Unique Experiences Await
Want to immerse yourself in Korean culture? Attendees can try on a hanbok (traditional Korean attire), receive skin or color analysis, and even get cartoonized by talented Korean artists. “We hope these experiences ignite your imagination and inspire an unforgettable Christmas holiday in Korea,” Kim emphasized, showing his passion for sharing these magical experiences.
A Surge in Filipino Visitors
Did you know that Filipino tourists visiting South Korea surged by 51% in 2024? That’s right—520,000 Filipinos embarked on this incredible journey last year alone. Kim remarked, “Tourism exchange between Korea and the Philippines is flourishing, and we expect it to grow even more.”
A Message from the Department of Tourism
Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco joined in the excitement, inviting everyone to discover the wonders of Korea while welcoming Koreans to explore the beauty of the Philippines. “Together, we’ll foster a bond enriched by understanding, prosperity, and peace,” she expressed with enthusiasm, highlighting the new direct flights connecting South Korea to various cities in the Philippines.
Spectacular Performances to Remember
Adding to the event’s vibrancy, the Korean cast of the beloved musical “Dream High”—including ZE:A’s Kim Dongjun, VICTON’s Lim Sejun, and Wonder Girls’ Sunye—delighted audiences with cultural performances, including the series’ iconic theme song. The K-Tigers martial arts group set the stage ablaze with a breathtaking display of taekwondo, leading to a thrilling performance infused with the rhythm of “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”
As the finale, Infinite’s Kim Myungsoo captured hearts with his soulful renditions of “What’s Not To Love” and “My Universe,” leaving everyone on a high note.
