SEOUL, June 05 (AJP) - The Korea Tourism Organization has forged a partnership with WAD, the operator of the dining platform Catch Table, to improve restaurant reservations and information access for international visitors, , the state-operated tourism agency said Friday.
The partnership focuses on promoting K-Local Gourmet Travels 33, a list of regional food destinations selected by KTO. Through the Catch Table global application, the organizations will create a digital service that combines restaurant information, reservations, and payment processing into a single system.
The initiative is designed to eliminate language barriers that foreign travelers experience when dining at local restaurants. By integrating regional eateries into a global platform, the project seeks to distribute tourist traffic beyond major cities and generate revenue for small businesses across South Korea.
"With K-food establishing itself as a global cultural trend, this agreement is an important milestone for the qualitative growth of food tourism in South Korea," said Min Byung-sun, head of the tourism industry division at KTO. "We will help foreign tourists conveniently enjoy hidden culinary gems across South Korea, bringing new vitality to the regional economy and the overall tourism industry."
