This Accommodation Sale Festa will be held on the largest scale ever, with a total of 49 online travel agencies and about 30,000 domestic accommodation facilities participating. The number of coupons distributed is a total of 320,000 remaining from the 1 million accommodation discount coupons prepared earlier this year as part of domestic demand revitalization measures, excluding the 680,000 coupons issued in the first half of the year. This event will also end early once the coupons are sold out.
The issuance of discount coupons, reservations, and use of accommodation facilities will continue for about a month from the 27th to November 24th. During the Festa period, a 30,000 KRW discount coupon will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, one per person, when using accommodation facilities costing over 50,000 KRW through participating online travel agency channels.
In addition to the 30,000 KRW discount coupon per travel agency, various additional discount benefits linked to this event, such as extra discount coupons, credit card discounts, and prize events, will be offered.
Coupons are issued daily from 10 a.m. to 7 a.m. the next day through participating online travel agency channels. If the coupon is not used or the reservation is canceled by 7 a.m. the next day after issuance, the coupon will automatically expire, and if there are remaining coupons, they can be reissued. Those who used coupons during the Accommodation Festa in the first half of this year and the Chuseok holiday period can also newly issue and use coupons.
Coupons cannot be used for unregistered illegal accommodations or hourly rentals, and minors cannot receive coupons. On the 11st website, a special small and medium-sized specialized pavilion with 11 participating companies will be operated separately, and a dedicated call center and chatbot for disabled customers will be supported so that tourism-vulnerable groups can comfortably enjoy accommodation discount benefits.
