The Korea Travel Fiesta 2025 has just been launched, and it promises to be a winter wonderland for Filipinos eager to explore new holiday destinations. Organized by the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO), this exciting event took place on a thrilling Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.
Experience the Magic of Korea
Kim Nam Chun, the Acting Vice President of KTO’s Tourism Content Strategy Division, shared the vision behind this fantastic fiesta. “We aim to showcase the diverse charms of Korean tourism, especially to inspire winter travel just as the Philippines enters its festive ‘ber-months.’ We want you to feel the magic of Korea long before Christmas arrives.”
Imagine bundled up in cozy layers, sipping hot chocolate as you explore the snowy streets of Seoul or the breathtaking landscapes of Jeju Island!
An Adventure Awaits
The event is packed with incredible travel deals. Airlines and travel agencies are rolling out special offers, including enticing ski resort packages that bring the thrill of winter sports right to your doorstep.
If you’re on the lookout for amazing bargains, here’s the kicker: if you purchase a roundtrip ticket to Korea at the event, you can enjoy the “1+1 promotion.” This means free tickets to stunning destinations like Jeju Island or Busan!
Unforgettable Experiences
But that’s not all! Attendees can indulge in unique cultural experiences like wearing a traditional hanbok, getting a personal skin analysis, or even being cartoonized by talented Korean artists. These delightful activities are designed to immerse you fully in the rich culture of Korea.
Kim Nam Chun emphasized, “We hope these programs inspire you to create unforgettable memories this Christmas with your family in Korea.” This isn’t just about travel; it’s about making every moment count.
Growing Connections
The excitement doesn’t stop there. The growth in Filipino visitors to South Korea is staggering! In 2024 alone, there was a 51% increase, with around 520,000 Filipino tourists making the journey to Korea. Kim noted that tourism exchanges are becoming more vibrant, promising an even brighter future for both nations.
Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco joined the celebration, inviting Filipinos to discover the wonders of Korea while encouraging Koreans to continue exploring the beauty and warmth of the Philippines. “Let’s nurture this beautiful partnership in tourism, fostering understanding, prosperity, and peace,” she expressed.

The festivities were graced by performances from the cast of the musical “Dream High”, featuring stars like Kim Dongjun and SE7EN. They serenaded the crowd with beloved tunes, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
Adding to the excitement, the martial arts group K-Tigers wowed everyone with their heart-stopping taekwondo acts, ending with electrifying performances from the hit Netflix film “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”
