Shinsegae Simon has moved to expand infrastructure to improve access and convenience for foreign tourists.
Shinsegae Simon said on the 10th that it launched a one-day tour package to Paju Premium Outlets in partnership with Wondertrip, a travel agency specializing in inbound (foreigners traveling to Korea) tourism. It is the second package following the Yeoju Premium Outlets one-day tour introduced in April last year.
This package departs in the morning from Myeong-dong and Hongdae in northern Seoul, popular with foreign tourists, spends about six hours shopping, dining, and relaxing at Paju Premium Outlets, then returns to the departure point. It operates twice a week on Mondays and Saturdays. The Yeoju Premium Outlets tour package expanded from twice a week to three times a week on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Reservations are available on global online travel platforms Klook and Trip.com, and sales channels will be expanded later. The fare is around 15,000 won per person. To mark the launch, a 1+1 (one plus one) promotion is underway, and premium lounge admission tickets are also provided to users.
Shinsegae Simon has continued to expand various infrastructure to improve the access and shopping convenience of foreign independent travelers (FIT). Notably, it has strengthened various tailored services such as ▲ opening a direct route connecting Gangnam's Seoul Express Bus Terminal and Yeoju Premium Outlets (operated by Dongbu Express) ▲ expanding one-day tour packages ▲ introducing overseas easy payments such as WeChat Pay, Alipay, and Line Pay Taiwan ▲ operating foreigner-only discount e-coupons.
