Visa-free Entry Extension... Kyowon Tour Launches 'Complete Conquest of Mongolia' Package

Since the Implementation of Visa-Free Entry in 2022,
the Number of Outbound Travelers Has Increased Every Year

Kyowon Tour Travel Easy is launching a premium package with the concept of ‘Complete Conquest of Mongolia’ in line with the Mongolian government's extension of visa-free entry, aiming to expand its market share.

The Mongolian government has extended the visa-free entry permit for South Koreans for tourism purposes, which was implemented from 2022 until last year, for one more year until December 31. Travel Easy expects that demand for travel to Mongolia will increase further this year due to this visa-free entry extension. In fact, the number of travelers booked for Mongolia packages has shown an increasing trend every year from 2022, when visa-free entry was implemented, through last year. The number of travelers to Mongolia in 2023 surged by 392% compared to the previous year, and last year it increased by 73.2%.

Targeting the growing demand for travel to Mongolia, Travel Easy has uniquely introduced ‘Complete Conquest of Mongolia, 8 Days at Khovsgol Lake’ which tours the northern region of Mongolia. This product uses Korean Air and Asiana Airlines’ Incheon-Ulaanbaatar routes and offers a private travel experience with departures for groups of six. It features a ‘No tip, No option, No shopping’ policy, allowing travelers to fully focus on their trip.

Notably, the itinerary includes sightseeing in Mongolia’s northern region, including Khovsgol Lake, known as one of the cleanest and oldest lakes in the world. Visitors can enjoy a boat tour on Khovsgol Lake to admire the clear waters and stunning natural scenery, and visit a Chaatan family, a nomadic reindeer herder group, to glimpse the life and culture of reindeer nomads. Additionally, the tour covers Ugi Lake, designated as a Ramsar wetland, and Erdenet, Mongolia’s second-largest city. At Terelj National Park, travelers can experience horseback trekking, nomadic lifestyle activities, and stargazing.

Travel Easy plans to further expand its market share in the Mongolia package travel market this year based on a strengthened Mongolia product lineup, including the differentiated Complete Conquest package. A Kyowon Tour official stated, “The number of travelers visiting Mongolia is increasing every year, and with the extension of visa-free entry, we expect the Mongolia travel market to show steep growth again this year. Through this product, we aim to offer customers the diverse charms of Mongolia and will continue to strengthen our product competitiveness going forward.”
