South Korea: An Eid and summer hotspot for Middle East travellers

Cathay Pacific and Korea Tourism Organisation have joined hands to provide travellers with even more reasons to explore Seoul, Jeju and Busan. Listed as one of the airline’s top Eid and summer hot spots, South Korea’s green mountains, bustling cities and picturesque hideaways provide the ideal destination for travellers from the Middle East.

To incentivise UAE travellers to explore the wealth of history, culture and cuisines that South Korea has to offer, Cathay Pacific along with Korea Tourism Organisation has created a series of promotional summer fares for customers to book immediately until 15 August – the ideal offer for residents looking to take advantage of attractive airfares this Eid.

Starting from as little as AED 2,535 (USD 690.15), travellers can explore the booming tech capital Seoul and its numerous historical sites, head to the coastal port city of Busan with its surrounding mountains and beaches or simply relax on the scenic island of Jeju.

“Seoul has long been a popular entry destination for travellers looking to explore South Korea. With the growing popularity of Korean cuisine, cinema and music in recent years, demand for flights to different cities in South Korea continues to increase. Travellers that decide to delve a little deeper are rewarded by a wealth of sights, making it a destination that truly deserves ‘must visit’ status this summer,” said Anand Yedery, regional head of marketing and sales at Cathay Pacific.
