The group will be small, limited to 12. The goal of our trip is simple: travel in a method that gives you better experiences. We will be passing on tourist traps in favor of sites of cultural interest. We will be using public transport. We’ll stay in guesthouses, traditional inns, and experience an overnight in an active temple. We'll also taste the most delicious Korean cuisine--where locals eat. Our pace of travel will be slower than a typical group which will allow us to gain a deeper understanding of Korea and its history and culture.

  • The Effect of Services and Facilities on Seniors' Visitation Experiences In
    Asian Women Autumn 2016, Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 1-21 The Effect of Services and Facilities on Seniors’ Visitation Experiences in Seoraksan National Park, Korea Michael A. Schuett Texas A&M University, USA Juhee Lee Daegu University, Korea Yunseon Choe Texas A&M University, USA Kyuwon Sim* National Park Research Institute, Korea 1 Abstract This study examined visitor use of Seoraksan National Park in Korea by seniors. The objectives were to analyze the effects of services and facilities on satisfaction and behavioral intention (to revisit and recommend to others) and explore gender differences. This study was conducted onsite in 2014 and data were collected from seniors (> 60 years old). The study variables included travel behavior, visitation experiences, service and facility preferences, and socio-economic characteristics. Study results (N=186) showed 50% male and 50% female respondents, visitors came mostly with family or friends; stayed at the park less than 24 hours, and visited 1–2 times a year. The major purposes of their visits were hiking, sightseeing, and health. Results showed that visitors are mostly satisfied with their national park experience and significant predictors of satisfaction included: size of the parking lot, well-maintained trails, and convenient rest areas; intention to recommend the park to others and intention to revisit were predicted by trails. Gender differences were found on five variables: trail, hiking information center, visitor center, camping site, and shelter, with female satisfaction scores lower on each of these items. This research contributes to a better understanding of senior national park visitor preferences and provides needed information so park managers can improve services and facilities and meet the future needs for a growing and active population of seniors in Korea.

  • FIVE NIGHTS/SIX DAYS TOUR Jagalchi Market Gukje Market Taejongdae Recreation Area
    FIVE NIGHTS/SIX DAYS TOUR Jagalchi Market Jagalchi Market, located on the shoreside road in Busan's Jung-gu, is Korea's largest seafood market, selling both live and dried fish. After the Korean War the market solidified itself as a fish market. Most of the people who sell fish are women, so the vendors here are called Jagalchi Ajumma, "ajumma" meaning middle-aged or married woman in Korean. This market represents Busan and is famous throughout the country. If you visit, you can eat fresh raw fish right at the market. Even these days you can see women selling mackerel, sea squirts (ascidians) and whale meat on wooden boxes along the road outside of the market and along the shore. Every year in October the Jagalchi Cultural Tourism Festival is held, and it is easy to visit because of the convenient transportation provided by subway. Jagalchi Market is where you can see the lifestyle of the Busan locals. Gukje Market Following the Korean War, refugees who fled to Busan set up stalls in order to make a living, and this was the beginning of the Gukje Market (gukje meaning "international" in Korean). The Gukje Market is one of Korea’s largest markets; each alleyway is crowded with stalls, and it connects to Bupyeong Market, Kkangtong Market, and other smaller markets. The market stocks such a wide variety of goods, that you can find almost everything you need right here. Taejongdae Recreation Area Designated as a Busan monument, along with Oryukdo Island, Taejongdae represents Busan, and is especially famous for its rock beach.
