KTO Manila to hold Korea Incentive Road Show in September

With the aim of promoting Korea as the top corporate incentive travel destination, Korea Tourism Organization Manila will be holding a Korea Incentive Road Show on September 3, 2015, Thursday at Ballroom 1 & 2 of the Fairmont Hotel in Makati. 

One of the highlights of the event is the Korea Incentive Mini Mart at 3:30~5:30PM, which is open to all travel agencies and private companies in the country. This will feature table top meetings with Korea's best corporate travel suppliers, tour operators, convention bureaus, and airlines, which can be an avenue for travel agents to expand their network as well as to gain relevant insights from the industry. Snacks and drinks will be served and participants will receive MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel kits and freebies upon registration. 

There will also be a Korea Incentive Night at 5:30~8:30PM, which is strictly by invitation only. It will showcase the latest corporate incentive travel trends in Korea via exclusive presentations. Special guests include the Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Mr. Jae-Shin Kim and Department of Tourism Undersecretary Benito C. Bengzon, Jr.

To cap off the event and hype up the excitement among participants, 5 roundtrip tickets to Korea will be given away during the Korea Incentive Night. 

Sponsored by Air Asia, Asiana Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Jeju Air, Korean Air, and supported by the Korean Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines and Banco De Oro, the Korea Incentive Road Show is part of KTO’s efforts to boost Korea’s travel industry and attract international tourists to visit the country after the recent outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-Cov) there.

The MERS-Cov outbreak caused a huge drop in inbound tourism in Korea. Hence, KTO has been relentless in organizing efforts to revitalize its tourism industry since the country was declared free from MERS-Cov since end of July. One of the steps being taken is to further capitalize on MICE tourism, and the Philippines, with its growing economy and the Filipino’s growing fascination to the Hallyu Wave, is a good potential market.

For more information on the event, interested participants may call Korea Tourism Organization Manila Office at (02) 880-0312 to 13, or they can also send an email to ktomanila@gmail.com.
