Korail Networks and Korail Tourism Development, which merged on September 23, are launching their first customer benefit following the merger. Travelers using train travel products will receive a 30% discount on parking fees at 158 railway station parking lots nationwide.
The two companies announced that starting at the end of October, they will implement a discount program linking train travel products with station parking services through the newly formed entity, tentatively named Korail Tourism Networks.
Previously, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail) completed the subsidiary integration process on September 23. As a result, Korail Networks and Korail Tourism Development have merged into a customer service-focused company, tentatively named Korail Tourism Networks. The new company will connect services previously managed separately by the two organizations, including station usage, train services, connecting transportation, and tourism.
The first benefit following the merger is the parking discount. Customers who book and purchase train travel products through the Korail Tourism Networks travel mall will receive a 30% discount on parking fees when using the railway station parking lots operated by Korail Networks. This applies to 171 railway parking lots across the country.
Previously, Korail Tourism Development managed railway tourism products, while Korail Networks operated station parking lots. This discount aims to reduce the parking cost burden for travelers who drive to the station before embarking on their train journeys.
The merged entity plans to introduce additional services that connect travel products and station usage services, starting with the parking discount.
A representative from the Korail Tourism Networks integration stabilization task force stated, “With the integration of the two companies, we have prepared benefits that allow customers to enjoy greater convenience from the start of their travel, linking train travel and station services. We will continue to expand the convenience and benefits that customers can experience, from travel preparation to transportation and tourism.”
