[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Leisure platform Yanolja announced on the 28th that it has declared its 'Tech All-in' vision.

The Tech All-in vision embodies Yanolja's determination to leap forward as a global tech company and lead the market with leisure-related technology and expertise. According to this vision, Yanolja will boldly change its corporate culture and working methods, actively promote research and development (R&D) investment and capacity building, and attract global talent.

Yanolja plans to hire more than 300 additional R&D personnel in the second half of this year alone. In the short term, the company aims to increase R&D talent to around 1,000 employees, and in the mid to long term, intends to have over 70% of its total workforce composed of R&D personnel. Yanolja explained that it already has an R&D personnel ratio of about 40%, the highest level among global OTAs (Online Travel Agencies).

Meanwhile, as part of its Tech All-in strategy, Yanolja will launch the 'Yanolja Technology' campaign starting this summer. Additionally, projects to strengthen the global capabilities of its employees will be introduced sequentially.

Lee Sujin, Yanolja's CEO, stated, "To lead the market as a global tech company, we will change everything from corporate culture to working methods to set industry standards," adding, "We plan to actively discover global talent and lead technological innovation through additional overseas R&D offices."
