On the 28th, the mobility platform SOCAR announced its participation in the '2025 Spring Accommodation Sale Festa,' which runs until March 30. The Spring Accommodation Sale Festa in South Korea is a public-private partnership project organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization to promote domestic travel and boost consumption.
During this Spring Accommodation Sale Festa, SOCAR will offer discounts of up to 240,000 won. First, coupons will be issued to book accommodations nationwide, excluding the metropolitan area, at a discounted price of up to 30,000 won. Every day during the event, from 10 a.m., participants can receive one of the 30,000 won or 20,000 won discount vouchers on a first-come, first-served basis. The 30,000 won voucher can be used for reservations costing 70,000 won or more per night, while the 20,000 won voucher can be used for reservations under 70,000 won. The coupon usage period is until April 6 based on the check-in date.
SOCAR offers a special exclusive discount coupon pack that includes benefits for Jeju accommodations. In addition, three discount coupons of 5,000 won (for over 100,000 won), 10,000 won (for over 200,000 won), and 15,000 won (for over 300,000 won) will be provided, all applicable in inland areas. For Jeju, two discount coupons each of 10,000 won (for over 100,000 won), 20,000 won (for over 200,000 won), and 30,000 won (for over 300,000 won) will be provided separately. By booking a Jeju accommodation of over 300,000 won during this accommodation sale festa, customers can receive a discount of up to 60,000 won, making it possible to use the accommodation for 240,000 won.
When making a reservation, a special travel discount benefit unique to SOCAR will also be offered. Members who have made accommodation reservations will receive a 75% discount and a 55% discount voucher for SOCAR's lending fees. The 75% discount voucher for lending fees will apply to reservations made for car-sharing more than seven days in advance, and it can be used for reservations of over 24 hours. The 55% discount voucher applies to car-sharing reservations made within seven days and for uses exceeding 10 hours. The vouchers can be used for 90 days and 7 days, respectively, from the date of issuance.
Park Mi-sun, head of the Next Division at SOCAR, said, "Through this Spring Accommodation Sale Festa, I hope members will be able to experience accommodation and travel more reasonably and conveniently with just the SOCAR app," adding, "Especially in Jeju, where the proportion of rental car use is high, I hope that with special discounts and SOCAR's lending fee discounts, travelers can embark on a trip to Jeju without any burden."
