Kyowon Tour, Yellow Balloon at leisurely resorts such as Hua Hin and Boracay, Spain with family travel memories, etc. are recommended for emotional travel such as Western Europe and Phuket. Hana Tour, Spain for long distances, Hanjin Tourism selected by Guam for short distances, and three Caucasus countries and Yonago are unique travel destinations
The Chuseok holiday in October is a “golden holiday” where you can take up to 10 days off. Starting from National Foundation Day on October 3, office workers can take 10 days off from the market until October 12 if they take one day off on October 10. There must be a lot of people planning to travel abroad during the long holiday. Among the veterans of overseas travel, the heads of public relations teams of domestic travel agencies, where Lee Da-ji will go on a good golden holiday. Aren’t you curious.
Comet Express introduces “October Golden Week overseas travel destinations recommended by five domestic travel agencies” such as Kyowon Tour, Yellow Balloon, Modoo Tour, Hana Tour, and Hanjin Tour. We also have a lot of tips from each company’s public relations team leader, so please look forward to it.
Hana Tour’s PR team leader’s choice for “Travel Agency Iljjang.”
First, it’s Hana Tour. The travel destinations recommended by Cho Il-sang, head of Hana Tour’s public relations team, Korea’s No. 1 packaged travel agency, are “Spain” and “Guam.”
If you need a chance to recharge in your daily life, I recommended Guam, where you can enjoy recreation, culture, shopping, and outdoor activities. If you focus on long holidays, I recommend you to visit Spain, which has unique charms for each city.
Team leader Cho hinted, “Both Guam and Spain have recently increased their air supply seats, making it easier to book and tickets are available at a substantial price.”
At this point, I am curious about the overseas travel destinations chosen by Hana Tour travelers for the Golden Week. Hana Tour’s top three most popular regions in terms of the number of reservations made during this year’s Golden Week are Japan, Vietnam, and Taiwan.
Unlike the previous year, some regions have suddenly exploded in popularity during this year’s Chuseok holiday. The top three overseas destinations with high reservation growth compared to the Chuseok holiday (October 3-9) last year (September 13-19) are “Thailand Phuket,” “China Shanghai,” and “West Europe.”
Hana Tour’s promotional team leader’s golden holiday travel tips
This is team leader Cho’s holiday travel tip. It was pointed out that in special times such as the Golden Week, the areas where travelers want to go may already be fully booked or the cost burden may be high. If you don’t have a travel destination you really want to go to, each travel agency has a region that makes last-minute reservations, such as a so-called “thumb treatment” product, so it’s a good option to choose a travel destination by recommending the region. Another way is to adjust the schedule for a day or two before and after the holiday. Air freight prices usually jump significantly on the first and last days of the holiday, so adjusting the travel schedule back and forth can save a lot of money. Team leader Cho said, “As the departure date is imminent, it may be more economical to choose travel products such as packages that can be booked in batches and Airtels (air and lodging package products) rather than individually booking flights and hotels.”
“Sentiment explodes.” A travel destination recommended by the promotional team leader of the Modoo Tour
The recommended destinations for the Modoo tour are a little different. The ’emotional’ thing explodes. Lee Yoon-woo, head of the promotion team for the Modoo Tour, cited “West Europe” and “Puket” as recommended destinations for this Chuseok holiday.
For Team Leader Lee, Western Europe is a special travel destination. In the summer of 2006, he went on a backpacking trip to Western Europe for about two months, starting with Germany as a starting point when he was in college. At that time, there were many difficulties because they relied on paper maps and travel brochures.
By directly hitting Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France, he is said to have a deeper understanding of local culture and been deeply fascinated by Europe’s unique history, culture, and sensibility. Like fate, the regions he visited as his first overseas leader after joining the company were also three Western European countries: France, Switzerland, and Italy.
Team leader Lee said, “West Europe is a place with both personal and professional experiences, so I was able to recommend it with confidence,” adding, “This year’s Chuseok Golden Week is a rare opportunity for office workers to travel to Europe with just one day of annual leave, and there are relatively few travelers compared to the peak season, so they can enjoy the romance and atmosphere of Europe in a relaxed manner.”
“Puket” recommended him because it was a place where he could not afford to travel.I planned a Phuket trip in May 2020, but at that time, I had to cancel the trip due to COVID-19. He is about to leave for Phuket again in mid-September this year to relieve his resentment.
Team leader Lee explained the reason for the recommendation that the travel environment has improved a lot recently due to a significant increase in the supply of Phuket routes, wider flight options, and price stabilization. Phuket is also a popular destination among travelers this year. Compared to the previous year’s Chuseok holiday, the reservation rate for Phuket products on all tours during this year’s Chuseok holiday soared 142.5% as of the reservation date.
By securing stable seats for national flags such as Asiana Airlines and Korean Air, Modu Tour will introduce a variety of products ranging from Phuket free travel products to signatures for all of its high-end travel products.
A golden holiday travel tip from Modoo Tour’s PR team leader
What is team leader Lee’s travel tip. He said that during the Chuseok holiday, many of the major popular route products departing from Incheon have already been sold out or prices have soared, so he should consider products departing from local airports such as Cheongju, Busan, and Daegu. Local airport departure products can be selected at a reasonable cost than Incheon departure products. Team leader Lee said, “Unlike individual ticket prices and seat conditions fluctuate in real time, Modoo Tour operates products based on chartered flights and group airline seats secured in advance, so it is also good to target products with remaining seats.”
A travel destination recommended by the yellow balloon promotion team leader with family travel memories
Heo Yul, head of the yellow balloon promotion team, chose three places: Portugal, Spain, and Turkiye to remember the family trip.
Team leader Huh said, “Because we are a double-income couple, I am the head of the travel agency’s public relations team, but I had no choice but to travel only to nearby areas, but I went on a long-distance trip to Europe with my daughter last year with the support of the employee’s flight ticket through the company’s welfare.”
“At the time of the trip, I fell in love with the unique atmosphere and charm of Portuguese and Spanish cities, from Barcelona’s Gaudi architecture to the romantic port city of Porto and sunny Lisbon,” he said, strongly recommending the destination to travelers who prefer emotional travel.
“Turkiye” is perfect for travelers who cannot miss both exotic charm and price/performance. Located on the border between Turkiye Europe and Asia, it is a travel destination where the two cultures naturally blend together. Cappadocia hot air balloon tourism and Pamukkale, a lime hot spring area, are tourist attractions.
Team leader Huh noted that Turkiye has recently been nicknamed “cheap Europe” due to its increased direct flights and improved price competitiveness. The yellow balloon’s reservation rate for Chuseok products in Turkiye also increased by more than 116% compared to last year’s Chuseok holiday.
Yellow Balloon PR Team Leader’s Golden Week Travel Tips
Team leader Huh delivered travel tips that can be applied to each of ‘package travel’ and ‘free travel’ during the Golden Week. You should book early when you book a package trip and make sure you don’t miss the early reservation discount. It is important to carefully check the travel product schedule and details such as tourism within the schedule. He stressed that the government should select a reliable travel agency by referring to the reviews and ratings of actual travelers and double-check the refund or change policy in preparation for sudden schedule changes. “Both packages and free travel products offer seasonal specials and various discounts, so you can get good benefits if you check the website or app often,” team leader Huh said. “Recently, semi-packages or themed free travel products that can be freely enjoyed for some of the schedules but can be helped by guides in necessary areas are also gaining popularity, so please refer to them.” Yellow Balloon is offering discounts for its users by introducing its own live broadcasts such as “Yellow Fang Deal” and “Yellow Live” on its official website and app.
It’s not Da Nang or Bohol? The teacher tour’s promotional team leader’s choice is this place
Kim Ji-soo, head of the teacher tour promotion team, chose Southeast Asia. The head of the teacher tour’s public relations team selected Thailand’s Hua Hin and the Philippines’ Boracay as overseas travel destinations recommended for the Golden Week. His recommendations are ideal for travelers who prefer to travel on vacation.
Hua Hin is a well-known resort for Thai royalty. The quiet and relaxed beach is adjacent, making it perfect for recreation. Although it is relatively less known in Korea than Bangkok and Pattaya in Thailand, it is a lonely advantage for travelers who prefer quiet travel destinations.
Team leader Kim said, “Juahin is well equipped with luxury hotels and resorts, so there is no shortage of comfortable relaxation, and there is a well-managed golf course, so it is good for recreation and golf at the same time,” adding, “It is also a great advantage to enjoy a leisurely vacation in Hua Hin and shopping, gourmet, and city tours in Bangkok.”
Boracay in the Philippines was cited as a similar reason. Boracay was once noted as a world-famous tourist destination where you can enjoy various marine activities such as snorkeling, hopping tours, and parasailing. However, recently, demand has been dispersed to resorts such as Vauxhall in the Philippines, Phu Quok and Nha Trang in Vietnam, which are more accessible, so you can enjoy the two travel destinations more leisurely than before.
Which place did the tourists of the Kyowon tour choose for the Golden Week in October. The top three travel destinations with high reservation rates during the Chuseok holiday of the Kyowon Tour were “Vietnam (17.2%), “West Europe (11.1%)” and “East Europe (10.0%).” Western Europe’s demand, which had been dampened by the aftermath of the Paris Olympics last year, has recovered, and Eastern Europe’s relatively low prices compared to other long-distance travel destinations have positively affected the increase in demand.
Golden holiday travel tips from the head of the teacher tour’s public relations team
Kyowon Tour also agreed that ticket prices on major routes have already soared during the 10-day Chuseok Golden Week, and some popular routes have been sold out. Team leader Kim said that if you are planning a long-distance overseas trip, consider a transit flight instead of a direct flight. If you use a foreign airline’s transit route, the schedule will be somewhat longer, but the price of tickets is relatively low and the possibility of securing seats is high. If you book products using domestic low-cost airline (LCC) routes such as T’way Airlines and Air Premia, you can further reduce costs. Europe can mainly use T’way Airlines, and the Americas can use Air Premia and T’way Air routes. Team leader Kim shared practical cost-cutting tips, saying, “Since travel agencies often sell air seats or package products secured in advance at limited prices, it is also useful to set up social network notifications of travel agencies that are interested in.”
The travel destination recommended by the public relations team leader of the high-quality travel essence “Hanjin Tourism” is
Hanjin Tourism is famous for making high-quality travel products from the past. What is the recommended travel destination for the public relations team leader of Hanjin Tourism Koo Yoon-kyo. The main characters are ‘Caucasian Three Countries’, ‘South France-Spain’, and ‘Yonago, Japan’.
For travelers looking for special destinations for the long Chuseok holiday, three Caucasus countries, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, were recommended. Among them, Georgia is a country with more than 8,000 years of wine making history, and it will be a satisfactory destination for drinkers.
Next, it was recommended to travel around ‘South France-Spain’ as a chartered product at once. It’s the appearance of Spain again. Spain, which is recommended by the head of the travel agency’s public relations team, is by far the “first recommended destination for the October Chuseok holiday.”
“October is the right time to travel to Spain, and its charter flights are a great advantage to be able to visit small cities in southern Andalusia, which are not well known in Spain,” team leader Koo said. “In addition, you can see famous tourist cities such as Aix-en-Provence and Avignon in southern France.”
Personally, the most recommended place is ‘Yonago, Japan’. Hanjin Tourism operates a direct flight charter flight to Yonago with Air Seoul this Chuseok.
Unlike the splendor of large cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, Yonago is characterized by a quiet atmosphere, said team leader Koo. “There are various things to enjoy, such as Kaike Hot Springs where you can enjoy hot springs while looking at the sea, Tottori Dune near Yonago where you can meet the desert in Japan, and Konan Museum with the theme of the animation, Detective Conan.”
Hanjin Tourism’s PR team leader’s golden holiday travel tips
Team leader Koo recommended that reservations for travel products be made “earned” three to six months before the departure date or, on the contrary, at “last pants,” one to two weeks before the departure date, as a golden holiday travel tip. Team leader Koo said, “Airlines usually start releasing early bird special tickets three to six months ago. Travel agencies also offer large-scale discounts on chartered products or early reservation discounts at this time, he said. “Conversely, there are cases where seats or products that have not yet been sold are sold at special prices when the departure date is imminent, so I recommend this method to those who are okay with flexible schedule selection.” It also provided tips for travelers who want to book travel packages as the Golden Week is imminent. If you want to make a reservation for free travel, it is expensive because there are no seats, so bookings for bundled products sold by travel agencies are often much cheaper. He added, “Especially during the Golden Week, travel agencies often secure large amounts of airline seats and fly chartered flights, so please use products composed of reasonable prices.”
