Street Campaign in Insa-dong on the 30th
Pledge for Accurate Information and a Safe Travel Environment
Nationwide Tourism Associations Join; Online Promotion to Expand through Late August

The tourism industry is taking the initiative to build a trustworthy travel environment by promoting reasonable prices and friendly service.

The Korea Tourism Association Central Committee announced on the 29th that a joint declaration of the "Five Major Travel Practices for Korea" would be made on the 30th at the association’s headquarters in Insa-dong, Seoul, followed by a street campaign throughout the Insa-dong area.

The campaign will involve the central committee, city and provincial tourism associations nationwide, tourism associations by sector, and related committees. The aim is to enhance service quality on the front lines, where staff interact directly with tourists, and to spread voluntary participation within the industry.

The five major travel commitments are as follows: ▲reasonable prices ▲friendly service ▲provision of accurate tourism information ▲creation of a safe travel environment ▲promotion of the unique charms of regions across Korea.

After the joint declaration, participants will visit tourism businesses in the Insa-dong district to encourage campaign participation. The event will also include an interactive activity where citizens and tourists can select the travel commitment they consider most important.

Until the end of next month, the central committee plans to promote these commitments through their homepage and social networking services (SNS) in cooperation with tourism associations nationwide.

Kyoungsoo Lee, Chairman of the Korea Tourism Association Central Committee, said, "A Korea that people want to revisit starts with small actions in the tourism sector," adding, "The tourism industry will work together to uphold the five commitments and create a trustworthy travel environment."
