On May 29, the organization announced that it has developed "Foreign Visitor Transportation Information Guide Content," which includes usage details and booking methods for each mode of transportation, such as railroads, airport limousines, subways, buses, and taxis.

The content is structured into three types to meet the needs of international visitors. It includes: a payment status board summarizing whether overseas cards can be used for various transportation modes such as railroads, limousines, subways, buses, and taxis; visual step-by-step guides for four major apps frequently used by foreigners, including k.ride, Klook, KorailTalk, and Naver Map; and two transportation flow charts showing routes from airports to major tourist attractions.

The organization has visualized the content so that even first-time visitors to Korea can intuitively understand how to use public transportation by viewing the images. The guide content is available in four languages: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

The organization plans to upload the content to the integrated Korea tourism platform "VISITKOREA" and distribute it sequentially through the social media channels of its overseas offices and tourist information centers nationwide. The organization will also promote wider dissemination by leveraging its network, including local governments and members of the public-private tourism transportation council.

Park Woojin, Head of Tourism Transportation at the Korea Tourism Organization, stated, "With the era of 30 million international tourists approaching, ensuring convenient travel beyond Seoul to other regions is essential," adding, "We will continue to strengthen customized content so that global travelers can use Korea's public transportation seamlessly."
