"Shall We Plan a Trip?"... Travel Products 'Stretch Out' in E-commerce

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] With the start of COVID-19 vaccination, expectations for the resumption of travel are growing. Various special promotions focusing on airline tickets and accommodation products that can be used when travel resumes are being prepared in e-commerce.

Wemakeprice recently sold travel products that can be used after the period when travel without self-quarantine became possible. These products were designed to resolve uncertainties in travel reservations caused by entry restrictions and self-quarantine. On the 25th, Wemakeprice offered overseas airline tickets, resorts, and hotel accommodations at special prices for 24 hours. Customers paid for the products first and then directly selected travel dates within one year based on the date when quarantine between the destination country and Korea is exempted. Reservations can also be transferred to others.

Tmon exclusively sold Aero K airline tickets based at Cheongju International Airport, which is scheduled to officially launch in April.

One-way ticket prices for the Cheongju to Jeju route, operating until the 28th, start from a minimum of 11,500 KRW including airport tax and fuel surcharge. Tmon also introduced a 'Canola Flower Travel Package' with Jeju Shinhwa World for customers planning spring outings to the popular travel destination Jeju. This product allows guests to enjoy the 2,000-pyeong (approx. 6,600 sqm) 'Shinhwa Garden' in full bloom with canola flowers, and is available only to Jeju Shinhwa World guests, ensuring a safe spring outing.

Wadiz, together with Interpark Tour and Jeju Air, launched a travel product that charters flights through crowdfunding. It consists of Interpark Tour’s charter flight tickets for overseas travel during the Chuseok holiday and local travel products from small travel agencies in each region. For six Southeast Asian routes?Da Nang, Taiwan, Phu Quoc, Bohol, Saipan, and Guam?if 100 people meet the crowdfunding target, they can travel by charter flight. If the crowdfunding succeeds but the flight cannot depart due to the local COVID-19 situation, customers can exchange for domestic hotel accommodation vouchers or request a refund. The charter flight ticket prices are also reasonable, up to 50% lower than the usual peak season prices. Transfers to others are also allowed.
