About the city. Seoul is the principal tourist destination for visitors; popular tourist destinations outside of Seoul include the major coastal city of Busan, the Seorak-san national park, the historic city of Gyeongju and subtropical Jeju Island. This way, there are more attractions outside the city.
Goal
K-Travel Bus was developed to provide international tourists with tourist attractions outside of Seoul and make it easier for non-Korean tourists to visit local other cities.
Implementation period. The city government developed K-Travel Bus in 2017. Official start of work on March 20, 2019.
Fact
The number of tourists who come to Seoul is growing every year. If in 2018 more than 15 million arrived in Seoul, in 2019 — 17,502,756 tourists.
Solutions
K-Travel Bus was developed to provide international tourists with tourist attractions outside of Seoul and make it easier for non-Korean tourists to visit local cities in Korea. It includes reliable accommodation, selected tourist attractions and high-quality guide service.
In addition to the existing two-day travel programs (Seoul & one local city), four-day and seven-day tour programs have been prepared for this year. The two-day tour consists of seven courses (Daegu, Gangwon, etc.); four-day tour composed of two courses (East Zone: Seoul – Daegu – Gyeongbuk – Gangwon – Seoul) & West Zone: Seoul – Chugbuk – Gongju – Jeonnam – Changwon – Seoul); and the seven-day tour combines the two four-day tour programs, visiting eight cities including Seoul (Seoul – Chungbuk – Gongju – Jeonnam – Changwon – Daegu – Gyeongbuk – Gangwon – Seoul). The seven-day tour program can be joined in between to increase conveniences for foreigners living in cities outside Seoul.
Team
This is a state initiative — the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Moreover, it signed a joint business agreement with seven local governments (Daegu-si, Gangwon-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gongju-si, and Changwon-si) to further cooperation for better operations and improvements.
