South Korea is a country where ample and numerous tourist sites are readily available for visitors; however, Korea’s tourism competitiveness is not placed even within the Top 30 worldwide. In order to boost Korean tourism, the Korea Tourism Organization needed a bright idea to publicize Korea to the rest of the world. Using an extensive and broad message without media cost, we invented a new medium that no one has ever tried before.
It is the most extensive and broad message without media cost. It’s a simple idea, but we invented a new medium that no one has ever tried before. The “Made-in-Korea” export products campaign has had successful results after the launch. We bring the message of Korea to those who are used to checking where products are from.
South Korea is a nation with high export products and maintains a well-developed manufacturing industry. We were attracted by the use of common messages on exported products, such as tags on products and package boxes. As a solution, we included a message “A Traveler’s Paradise –Korea Tourism Organization-” below every “Made in Korea” label on Korea’s exported products to foreign countries. The “Made-in-Korea” export products with our idea proved to be successful almost immediately.
Despite the fact that the world economy has collapsed, Korean tourism has increased 4.5% in 6 months since the campaign started. It can be measured in the same effect as $15 million US dollars spent on TV advertising.
