Korea.com Launches ‘Lehanyou’

- an Exclusive Travel Consultation Service for Expats Living in Korea

-Professional consultants offer one-stop travel service via partnership with local tour agency

[September 15, 2015] Korea.com recently launched ‘Lehanyou’ (Happy Tour Korea) a travel consultation service catering to foreign residents of Korea. The service offers a wide range of travel services including reserving airline tickets and booking accommodations for international travelers.  

Tailored to the needs of foreign residents in Korea who face difficulty booking trips abroad, Lehanyou serves as a one-stop travel consultation destination. By simply supplying their travel information (name, phone number, destination and itinerary), Lehanyou connects users with professional consultants who work to find the best travel arrangements available. The personalized customer service of Lehanyou is made possible through its partnership with the Korean travel agency Namil Tours.

In addition to helping foreign residents overcome language barriers to book dream vacations, Lehanyou supplies professional consultants that locate the best tour packages based on the customer’s ideal travel itinerary. By adopting this streamlined approach, customers are able to book their vacations without paying additional service charges. Lehanyou also boasts a mobile website (trip.korea.com) in both Chinese and English to increase ease of access for consumers.

Lehanyou director Byungjin Jeong stated “Although 1.8 million foreigners live in Korea, until the launch of Lehanyou, there weren’t enough travel consulation services and purchasing methods to meet the needs of such a large group. The convenient, customized service will help make it easier for foreigners to find outstanding travel packages at a reasonable price.”

The tourism website Korea.com has 2.46 million foreign members and offers a variety of Korea-based content. Lehanyou is available via mobile web page as well as the Korea.com website.
