Building on the success of their previous campaign, the Create & Share campaign brings together a holistic experience for those who will be visiting Seoul both offline and online.

As part of the global promotional efforts, STO will hold a fun and engaging 3-day promotional event entitled ‘Seoul Culture Showroom in Kuala Lumpur’ at MyTOWN Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur from 20th to 22nd September.

This event is designed especially to give Malaysians a glimpse of the cultural diversity they could experience when they visit Seoul.

Moreover, a new 2019 Seoul tourism promotional video featuring Seoul’s Honorary Tourism Ambassadors, will also be making its debut to world at the event.

Malaysia is known for having a larger Muslim population, thus STO has carefully crafted the event with information highlighting Seoul’s infrastructure that caters to Muslim visitors. This information includes Seoul Infra Map where it highlights location of halal-certified and pork-free restaurants, prayer rooms, and more.

“As Muslims are emerging as a key tourism market, competing Asian countries including Taiwan and Japan are actively attracting Muslim travelers,” said Byun Dong-hyun, the Chief Director of the Global Marketing Team in Seoul Tourism Organization. “We will focus on expanding infrastructure for Muslims in Seoul reflecting their needs and preferences, while promoting Muslim infrastructures such as halal restaurants and prayer rooms that we already have.”
