Rakso Travel’s 1st Familiarization Trip Since the Pandemic with Jeju Tourism Organization

It’s been two years since Korea officially closed its borders to inbound tourists. This was sad news to all travel enthusiasts and fellow K-fans out in the world. Nevertheless, it’s also been 2 years since we waited for such good news to arrive.

Last April 2022, Rakso Travel was invited by Jeju Tourism Organization to join the familiarization trip to Jeju Island, alongside other tour representatives from different travel agencies in the Philippines. This business fam trip was organized with the aim to show and re-experience Jeju in the new normal, bringing back foreign tourists’ confidence to travel again. 

Interior Minister Jeon Hae-Cheol also announced that Korea will resume its visa-free entry through Jeju and Yangyang airports starting June 1. 

A stay of up to 15 days will be granted without a visa to group tours with five or more coming from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Mongolia arriving through Yangyang International Airport. 

The visa-free program was implemented back in 2002 for foreign travelers from countries designated by the government, which could stay on the southern resort island of Jeju for up to 30 days without a visa. However, this system was put on hold in February 2020 following the outbreak of the pandemic where 2 months later, the country also suspended inbound international arrivals at Jeju International Airport. 

Rakso Travel is hopeful with the start of South Korean borders reopening its doors to foreign travelers, especially Filipino tourists who are excited to visit, once again, the Land of the Morning Calm. 

With this news catching many ears of excited travelers, we should be quick on our toes and keep on watching out for Rakso Travel's Korea Tours and Visa-Free Packages with a direct charter flight from the Philippines.
