Tmon Offers 90% Early Discount on Overseas Travel Vouchers for Travel Resumption
Home&Shopping Resumes Sales of Overseas Travel Package Products Halted by COVID-19
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] With the increase in domestic vaccination rates and the push to establish 'Travel Bubbles' (safe travel zones), e-commerce and home shopping sectors are accelerating efforts to capture the pent-up demand for overseas travel.
Tmon is offering 'Overseas Travel Discount Vouchers' usable upon the resumption of international travel at a 90% discounted price until the 27th. This exclusive promotion, launched in partnership with Kyowon KRT Travel Agency, allows customers to secure overseas travel discount vouchers in advance of travel resumption. Once the Travel Bubble, which exempts mandatory self-quarantine between countries with excellent quarantine measures, is fully implemented, several special overseas travel packages redeemable with these vouchers will be introduced.
There are five types of discount vouchers available. For example, a travel coupon worth 50,000 KRW, applicable to overseas travel products priced over 500,000 KRW, is sold at a 90% discounted price of 4,900 KRW. The vouchers are valid until December 31, 2022, allowing ample time for use. For products that cannot depart, the full amount of the voucher will be refunded.
Home&Shopping is also launching overseas travel package products that were suspended due to COVID-19. Since halting travel product sales last year due to the pandemic, Home&Shopping has recently resumed sales of domestic accommodation vouchers and advance booking airline tickets, seeking to revitalize the travel industry. These related products have been very popular.
Starting from the 20th, overseas travel package products will be introduced for the first time in one year and three months. The 'Chamjoeun Travel Overseas Travel Package' broadcast on that day will offer resort-type products such as Guam and Saipan, as well as sightseeing products for destinations like Taiwan and Singapore, at reasonable prices. A Home&Shopping representative said, "We prepared these products to actively participate in overcoming the difficulties faced by the travel industry due to COVID-19 and to meet customers' needs for overseas travel," adding, "We will continue to offer reasonable and practical overseas travel products."
