Lotte Tour Development has become the only South Korean travel agency to be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the TTG Travel Awards, a prestigious event in the Asia-Pacific travel industry.
The company announced on September 28 that it was honored at the 35th TTG Travel Awards held on September 24 at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Center in Thailand.
The TTG Travel Awards, organized by the global travel magazine TTG since 1989, recognizes outstanding companies and brands in the Asia-Pacific travel sector.
The Hall of Fame is awarded to companies that have won in the same category for ten consecutive years. Lotte Tour Development first received the title of 'Best Travel Agency in Korea' in 2000 and has maintained this streak, entering the Hall of Fame in 2011. It remains the only South Korean travel agency to achieve this honor.
Since then, Lotte Tour Development has been officially invited each year as a Hall of Fame honoree at the TTG Travel Awards.
Baek Hyun, CEO of Lotte Tour Development, stated, “It is significant to be recognized for our contributions to the development of the Korean travel industry over the past 55 years,” adding that the company aims to introduce new travel products and services focused on consumer satisfaction.
Lotte Tour Development operates premium travel packages, including business class options, under its brand 'HIGH&'. In the cruise sector, the company plans to launch a cruise product connecting South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, featuring the MSC Bellissima, a 170,000-ton cruise ship, starting in June 2027.
Additionally, the Grand Hyatt Jeju, located within the Jeju Dream Tower complex, received an award in the hotel category at this year's TTG Travel Awards.
