SK Telecom Expands Discount Benefits with Local Partners in Southeast Asia and Japan for Vacation Season

Global Travel Promotion Implemented for Two Months

SK Telecom is launching a 'Global Travel' promotion during the vacation season, offering discounts on local restaurants, shopping, and more through T Membership in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. This promotion will run for two months, from August 1 to September 30.

During August, SKT will provide various benefits to travelers in Southeast Asian regions including Thailand, Vietnam, Guam, and Saipan, while in September, the promotion will extend to various locations across Japan. The countries were selected based on an analysis of the most visited destinations by Koreans last year.

In Bangkok, Thailand, the popular local restaurant among Koreans, ‘Northeast’, is partnering with SKT to offer a 50% discount on its popular menu item, ‘Garlic Fried Shrimp’. In Da Nang, Vietnam, the Korean restaurant ‘Gain’ will provide free desserts.

In Guam, customers can receive a 20% discount on tickets for the activity ‘Dolphin Cruise’ tours. The Guam restaurant ‘Pieology’ offers a buy one get one free promotion on its signature pizzas, and the restaurant ‘Olive Garden’ provides its signature menu item ‘Tour of Italy’ for free. In Saipan, the popular eateries ‘Coco Restaurant’ and the Korean restaurant ‘Cheonggiwa’ offer 50% discounts on T-bone steak and LA galbi (one serving), respectively.

SKT plans to expand new partnerships in Japan as well. In September, SKT customers will be able to enjoy various discounts on dining and shopping at popular travel destinations in Japan such as Osaka and Fukuoka through T Membership.

Even after the August-September promotion ends, SKT customers can continue to receive ongoing discounts. For example, in Guam, ‘Pieology’ and ‘Olive Garden’ will offer a 15% discount on their signature menus, and in Da Nang, Vietnam, ‘Gain’ will provide a 10% ongoing discount.

To receive T Membership benefits locally, customers simply need to open the T Membership application and present the barcode when ordering or paying at partner locations, just as they would in Korea. Through the T Membership ‘Global Travel’ service, SKT provides benefits at over 260,000 partner locations across 9 regions worldwide.
