Imagine the snowy landscapes of Korea, perfect for a family holiday packed with joy and warmth. As the Christmas season approaches, often referred to as the “ber-months” in the Philippines, KTO’s Acting Vice President of Tourism Content Strategy Division, Kim Nam Chun, shares the essence of this event. “We aim to unveil the unique charms of Korean tourism and ignite the interest in winter travel, especially with the peak holiday season just around the corner.”

At the fiesta, you can wear a traditional hanbok, get a skin or color analysis, and even get cartoonized by talented Korean artists! Kim Nam Chun encourages everyone, “We hope you will be inspired to create a memorable Christmas holiday with your family in Korea.”
This event promises to take you on an emotional journey through Korea’s vibrant culture while keeping you updated on exclusive travel deals and destinations.
Growing Connections Between the Philippines and Korea
In exciting news, the number of Filipinos visiting South Korea is on the rise! In 2024, approximately 520,000 Filipino tourists made the trip, marking a remarkable 51% increase from the previous year. Kim highlights, “Tourism exchange between Korea and the Philippines is growing steadily, and we anticipate even more activity in the future.”
Department of Tourism Secretary, Christina Frasco, also shared her enthusiasm for this partnership. “I invite our Filipino friends to explore the wonders of Korea, and welcome our Korean friends to experience the warmth of the Philippines. Together, we can nurture this beautiful relationship through shared tourism.”
Amazing Performances to Enrich Your Experience
The event also showcases spectacular performances, elevating the festive atmosphere! The Korean cast of the musical “Dream High”— featuring talents like ZE:A’s Kim Dongjun, VICTON’s Lim Sejun, Wonder Girls’ Sunye, and the popular SE7EN—performed a selection of memorable songs, including the iconic theme song.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the martial arts group K-Tigers amazed the crowd with breathtaking taekwondo displays, wrapping up their performance with catchy tunes from the Netflix film “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”
