KT introduces ‘Korea Tour Pack’ roaming for foreign tourists
Recently, as the number of foreign tourists has increased, it is recovering to 90% of the level in 2019 before COVID-19. As the number of tourists increases, interest in using useful services for Korean tourism is gradually increasing, but the inconvenience of having to find and use each necessary part remains.
KT announced on the 22nd that it will introduce the ‘Korea Tour Pack’, a one-stop benefit for foreign tourists using KT prepaid roaming products for the summer vacation season. The
‘Korea Tour Pack’ is a program that brings together benefits that foreign tourists absolutely need in Korea, such as ▲transportation ▲currency exchange ▲shopping ▲travel assistance.
When a foreign tourist signs up for a KT prepaid roaming SIM/eSIM product, the ‘Korea Tour Pack’ benefits will be sent as a text message as a link, and customers can easily use each travel benefit by accessing the link.
First, for ‘transportation’ benefits, we provide discounts on the airport railroad (1,500 won discount) and airport limousine (2,000 won discount) that can be used upon leaving the airport.
In addition, customers who purchase a prepaid roaming pass of 5 days or more are provided with a T-money transportation card that can be used after individual recharging, and through the Swing Taxi partnership, we provide a 10% discount on call taxis and a basic 5,000 points, as well as an additional 10% discount when reserving airport taxis in advance.
For the ‘currency exchange payment’ benefit, we provide a 50% preferential exchange rate benefit when exchanging money at Incheon Airport through the Woori Bank partnership. Starting in August, through the Hanpass partnership, we will also provide a 10% discount on prepaid roaming products when applying for a Hanpass prepaid recharge card in advance. The Hanpass card is useful when traveling because it not only functions as a transportation card but also provides cashback when paying at hotels/large marts/convenience stores, etc.
In addition, the ‘shopping’ benefit provides gold membership through the Shinsegae Duty-Free partnership, an offline shopping coupon worth 300,000 won and a shopping support fund of 30,000 won, allowing a discount of up to 330,000 won. If you purchase more than $50 on the same day, you will receive a 5,000-won Starbucks gift card.
In addition, the Korea Tourism Organization’s VISITKOREA and the multilingual travel consultation/chat service 1330 have been linked through the ‘Korea Tour Pack’ link for easy use. Through VISITKOREA, you can search for travel information on Korea in 13 languages, and through 1330, you can also use consultation phone calls and text chat services such as tourist information/interpretation/inconvenience reporting/police connection.
KT Customer Business Division Director Kim Young-geol said, “We prepared this Korea Tour Pack so that foreign travelers can receive one-stop benefits while traveling along with KT roaming,” and “We will continue to introduce innovative customer-centered services in the future.”
