View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Amid the ongoing impact of COVID-19, travel demand is surging. Overseas travel packages are selling well, especially through TV home shopping, while domestic travel products continue to sell out.
On the 9th, Lotte Home Shopping announced that following the sale of Vietnam Vinpearl Resort accommodation vouchers on the 14th, it will sell airline tickets to popular overseas destinations such as Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan on the 19th. On the 21st, it will offer overseas travel package products covering more than 400 countries worldwide.
Last month, Lotte Home Shopping sold a total of 3,500 three-night accommodation vouchers for the Philippines Henann Resort. Considering the current difficulty of traveling abroad, these vouchers come with a condition allowing use within one year after the COVID-19 quarantine is lifted. Buyers can also exchange them for domestic hotel accommodation vouchers if desired. In January, they sold over 5,000 Vietnam Novotel hotel accommodation vouchers under the same conditions.
Domestic travel products are also popular. CJ O Shopping sold out 10,000 rooms at Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort last month and recorded sales of 6,015 rooms during the encore broadcast on the 6th. These can be used until June.
