Wego Teams Up with Korea Tourism Organization to Inspire MENA Travelers to Explore Korea
Wego, known as the leading travel application and the largest online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), is joining forces with the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) to launch an exciting new campaign aimed at igniting travel interest among MENA explorers. This initiative centers around highlighting Korea's exceptional scenery, rich culture, and unique offerings, inviting travelers to delve deeper into what this dynamic country has to offer.
This partnership is unfolding through a creative campaign that encourages travelers to explore Korea beyond its well-known urban centers. The campaign will showcase Korea’s mix of high-tech cities, serene islands, and timeless traditions, all of which coalesce beautifully. Today’s MENA travelers are eager for destinations that promise a mix of authenticity and accessibility, and Korea is quickly emerging as a top choice that caters to these desires.
From Seoul's striking skyline and Jeju Island's tranquil beaches to the vibrant markets of Gyeongju and the stunning mountains in Gangwon-do, Korea presents a delightful sensory adventure. Travelers have the opportunity to enjoy soothing tea in traditional hanoks, embrace breathtaking cherry blossoms during spring, navigate volcanic paths, or immerse themselves in K-culture, which includes everything from mouthwatering street food to innovative skincare, compelling cinema, and outstanding design.
Mamoun Hmidan, Wego's Chief Business Officer, shared his enthusiasm, stating, "Korea has emerged as one of the most enticing travel destinations for MENA adventurers. By combining a rich heritage with forward-thinking experiences, our collaboration with the Korea Tourism Organization helps bridge the gap between aspirational travel plans and reality. Our goal is to facilitate the connection between travelers in our region and this incredible country through targeted storytelling, engaging digital experiences, and intuitive trip-planning tools. We look forward to helping many more individuals embrace Korea as their next great adventure."
The campaign set to launch in both Arabic and English will incorporate interactive content, key destination highlights, influencer-led travel experiences, and simple planning tools designed to streamline the journey from inspiration to booking. This creative effort provides a glimpse into Korea’s multifaceted charm—from its lively urban environments and seasonal events to UNESCO World Heritage sites, culinary delights, and immersive wellness retreats.
With an increased desire for East Asian travel experiences across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the broader MENA region, Korea's well-established infrastructure, simplified visa processes, and efficient flight connectivity further enhance its appeal. The campaign is designed to harness this momentum, presenting Korea not merely as a place to visit, but as a captivating story that travelers can truly immerse themselves in.
Jiman Jung, the Regional Director of the Korea Tourism Organization, expressed his excitement about this partnership, stating, “Collaborating with Wego, the foremost travel platform in the MENA region, means we can share Korea’s unique charms with a wider audience. This partnership is pivotal for making it easier for MENA travelers to experience the enchanting blend of Korean culture, from K-beauty to K-dramas. Korea’s beauty is differentiated across all four seasons, providing awe-inspiring experiences from the springtime blossoms to the wintry landscapes. We believe our diverse offerings will entice travelers to return continuously, and we are eager to welcome visitors from the Middle East and North Africa.”
Through this innovative partnership, Wego and the Korea Tourism Organization are excitedly shaping a new era of discovery. By merging deep knowledge of travel destinations with cutting-edge travel technology, they aim to inspire, inform, and empower travelers from MENA areas. Together, they are making Korea not only more accessible but also more engaging and unforgettable than ever before.
