South Korea - Fun, Ski & Snow Festival

Korea Tourism Organization

21 December 2011

In the recent years, the number of Southeast Asian tourists for the winter season has increased because of the snow covered mountains and the fun and thrills that are offered at the ski resorts in Korea. Hence there has also been an increase in packages and tours featuring ski resorts and winter activities.

The annual winter sports travel package sales events, "Fun, Ski & Snow Festival" and "GoGo Ski Festival," are here again this year, and are set to run from December 15th, 2011 to March 4th, 2012. The events, jointly held by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), Gangwon-do Provincial Government, Yongpyong Resort Ski & Snowboard and High1 Ski Resort, will be offering three-night, four-day travel packages filled with excitement and enjoyment in the snow. 

The main programs on the travel itinerary are skiing and snowboarding lessons from professional instructors as well as an amateur ski and snowboard competition. In addition, the Festivals will be presenting various performances and hands-on experience programs involving hanbok (traditional clothes) and Hallyu Star Photo Zone. 

The "Fun, Ski & Snow Festival" and "GoGo Ski Festival" have been hugely popular especially with international visitors from warmer regions. The Festivals are a great way to experience winter in Korea for both winter sports enthusiasts and first-timers.
