Market Kurly launches first sales of overseas travel packages to Guam, Saipan, and Hawaii.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Market Kurly is launching overseas travel products for the first time. In response to the increasing demand for overseas travel driven by growing expectations for the endemic phase, Market Kurly is holding a special event for ‘Overseas Travel Premium Packages’ until the 28th.

According to Market Kurly on the 25th, this is the first time overseas travel products have been launched. Lee Sungwoo, Market Kurly MD, explained, “Considering that many countries have lifted or eased quarantine measures for inbound travelers and that flight route operation permissions are gradually increasing after May, we decided to sell these overseas travel products.”

Market Kurly’s overseas travel products are premium packages focused solely on travel without mandatory tours or local payment options. A dedicated planner participated from the product planning stage, reviewing various factors to ensure a safe and relaxing time amid COVID-19. As a result, among several travel candidates, Guam, Saipan, and Hawaii were finally selected for their low COVID-19 infection rates and suitability for families and couples.

The ‘Overseas Travel Premium Package’ consists of a total of 21 products. They range from reasonably priced tour-tel products that include hotel and rental car services in Guam without airfare, to premium products offering luxury hotels, resorts, and facilities.

For example, the ‘Guam Dusit Thani Resort Oceanfront Villa Suite Room’ product includes boarding Korean Air business class seats, staying in a suite room at a 5-star premium resort, and offers private swimming pools in the room, spa rooms, 1:1 concierge service by a professional manager, and exclusive vehicles.

Additionally, there are leisure products allowing customers to enjoy relaxing times at famous luxury resorts such as Saipan Kensington Resort and Hawaii Hyatt Regency, as well as options for golf trips, free travel, and island tours tailored to customer preferences.

Sales of overseas travel products will continue until 11 a.m. on the 28th, with travel departure dates varying by product from mid-May to mid-October. There is also a benefit of four coupons offering up to 30,000 KRW discount when purchasing overseas travel products worth more than 1 million KRW. Services to assist with travel preparations complicated by COVID-19, such as guidance on required documents for entry and exit at each destination, support for PCR test costs, and pickup services, are also provided.

Cheon Kyungwon, Market Kurly leader, said, “Since Market Kurly directly participated from the product planning stage and put a lot of effort into composing the overseas travel premium packages, we expect customers to be satisfied. We will continue to strive to offer a variety of high-quality overseas travel products in the future.”
