Under the Korean Tourism Organization’s Visit Korea Year 2023-2024 campaign, the KOREA invites U effort is giving an exciting opportunity for Filipino travelers to win an all-expenses-paid tour to South Korea.
Aside from promoting cultural exchange and tourism between the two countries, this campaign also urges these individuals to reminisce about their best memories of travelling to Korea.

To participate, all you have to do is visit the campaign’s website and follow their simple instructions.
The eligible applicants are as follows:
1) Non-Korean nationals residing outside of Korea,
2) Individuals with unique stories about Korea, and
3) Able to travel to Korea from 20 to 24 May 2024.
For eligible applicants, you’ll be asked to submit your personal and unique stories about Korea and the connection that you’ve made with the country. You can throw in some photos and videos too, so you can up your chances of winning.
The free five-day trip won’t just be any tour either. Depending on the chosen winner (or winners), a part of your itinerary includes a personalized tour based on the stories you’ve sent in.
Once the application period is over, the organizations involved will deliberate and set up an online interview. If you’re lucky, you may just receive some good news in the form of an email, confirming your free trip to Korea.
Applications will be accepted until 19th April 2024 at 11.59pm, so don’t miss out on this chance of a lifetime.

If you’re a minor, elderly, or someone with special needs, you’re permitted to bring a companion with you. Specified arrangements will be made later on.
So if you’re an eligible applicant wanting to go back to Korea, don’t miss out on this golden opportunity to explore the wonders of South Korea once more – and without spending a dime.
Apply today, and who knows, you might soon find yourself living your Korean dream in the month of May.
