HereOtta, a travel and leisure platform, said on the 31st that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea office of the Marianas Visitors Authority and will work together to boost tourism to the Mariana Islands.
The two sides plan to roll out related content centered on Saipan, the representative destination of the Mariana Islands, and jointly carry out promotional activities to expand travel demand.
Saipan is a destination reachable in 4 hours and 30 minutes from Incheon International Airport. Its strengths include outstanding natural scenery and a variety of hands-on tourism content. Signature options include Mount Tapochau ATV experiences, the Grotto snorkeling, and the northern starlight tour, and recently, in line with the "sportscation" trend, it has been drawing attention as a destination where travelers can enjoy sports and relaxation together, such as marathons, golf, and diving.
Kim Yong-gyeong, head of the HereOtta brand division, said, "We plan to introduce travelers to the diverse charms of the Mariana Islands, including Saipan, through collaboration with the Marianas Visitors Authority," adding, "We will help discover destinations with marketing that combines content production and travel benefits."
