GS Shop has scheduled a total of four travel products for Western Europe, Saipan, and other destinations on November 18 and 19. This is to capture the increased travel demand mainly from families of high school seniors after the 2024 College Scholastic Ability Test, which will be held on the 16th.


The travel products to relieve exam stress are prepared in various types: ‘sightseeing’ with unique attractions and abundant food, and ‘resort’ for a relaxing vacation.


For sightseeing, the ‘10-day Western Europe’ and ‘9-day Turkey’ travel products are introduced. The ‘10-day Western Europe’ scheduled for 6:35 PM on the 18th includes visits to three countries: France, Switzerland, and Italy. Travelers can enjoy masterpieces at the Louvre and Vatican Museums and experience the great outdoors in five Swiss cities. They can also enjoy traditional Parisian cuisine at a 150-year-old restaurant and the famous Fiorentina steak in Florence.


At 8:35 PM on the 19th, the ‘9-day Turkey’ product will be offered. Turkey is the most popular European travel destination since the endemic phase. The trip uses direct flights with Korean Air and stays at 5-star hotels throughout the itinerary. It includes must-visit places such as Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia, as well as new tourist spots like Manavgat with its pristine natural scenery, Alanya famous for Cleopatra Beach, and Side, popular among locals for wedding snap shoots due to the Apollo Temple. Special benefits exclusive to GS Shop customers, such as the Dolmabah?e Palace and belly dance performances, are also prepared.


For resort-type products, the ‘5-day Saipan World Resort’ will be broadcast at 1:00 AM on the 19th. This all-inclusive product allows guests to enjoy all meals, various resort facilities, and experience programs at the World Resort, which has the largest water park facility in Saipan. The itinerary also includes sightseeing at Managaha Island, where visitors can snorkel in emerald waters. At 6:20 PM, the ‘5-day Hainan’ product will be introduced. Hainan, known as the Hawaii of the East, offers stays at the luxury resort Westin Blue Bay, with city tours and night view tours. All customers will receive an ocean view upgrade benefit.



Jeon Woo-jung, GS Shop’s travel MD, explained, “Family travel is concentrated during the summer vacation from June to August and the winter season from December to February after the college entrance exam. While summer vacations often involve families with preschool children, the winter season sees many traveling with children preparing for college entrance.”
