If you’re tired of the usual shopping weekend in
nearby Hong Kong and Bangkok, a unique travel
experience awaits just a little further north. Think
great, affordable Christm as shopping, tasty
native beef and vegetable cuisine, a touch of
fascinating ancient culture, coupled with the
wintry delights of the season. We’re talking
Seoul, Korea, all set for Christmas shoppers,
winter wonderland seekers and an influx of

National carrier Asiana Airlines (OZ), Korea’s ISO quality-certified airline, has prepared
tour packages especially suited for this season’s arrivals. Filipino travelers have a

approachable and well- informed, and communicate well in English and Japanese.

skier will be a cinch since travelers can enjoy a stay in one of many ski resorts near
