A SERIES of new perks are now available to business event groups that confirm their travels to Seoul by the end of this month.
The new incentives by Seoul Tourism Organization are available through two programmes, and are part of recent efforts to make it easier for event organisers to qualify for promotional and on-site support programmes and services.
The first programme takes advantage of Seoul’s major autumn festivals. Business events with at least 50 delegates staying a minimum of two consecutive nights can apply for complementary reserved seats at either the Seoul Mega Concert, a K-Pop musical performance at Seoul Plaza scheduled for early October, or at the Seoul International Fireworks Festival on October 3. Seats for either event will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The second programme comes with a longer timeline and is aimed at business events that are slated to take place between now and June 2016. Groups that qualify for this programme will receive a 10,000 won (US$8.40) food credit per delegate, a city tour of Seoul on coach, and up to 3,000,000 won in credit towards a Seoul-based performance.
Application for either programme must be made by September 30 this year through mice@seoulwelcome.com.
