[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] LG Uplus is partnering with Interpark to develop partnership services that support customers' travel and cultural activities.

LG Uplus and Interpark announced on the 7th that they have signed a "business agreement to revitalize new businesses."

Through this business agreement, LG Uplus and Interpark plan to launch new services that combine the strengths of both companies to help innovate customers' travel and cultural experiences. In fact, since the lifting of social distancing and overseas travel restrictions due to COVID-19, the number of overseas travelers and performances has significantly increased. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the number of overseas departures in May was approximately 315,900, a 114% increase compared to about 147,400 in January. According to the Integrated Performing Arts Ticketing System, ticket sales for performances reached about 42 billion KRW as of the last week of June, a 107% increase compared to 20.2 billion KRW in the first week of January.

Reflecting customer demands, LG Uplus and Interpark are considering ways to provide various benefits to customers preparing for travel or cultural activities. LG Uplus will offer roaming benefits to customers purchasing travel products from Interpark, and Interpark will provide benefits for LG Uplus customers when booking various performances, sports games, and travel, collaborating to develop partnership services.

In the future, the two companies plan to discover converged services that combine LG Uplus's communication data with Interpark's cultural activity capabilities. They also plan to continuously cooperate to enhance customer convenience and expand benefits.
