A City Prepared for Global Superstars
Busan is officially bracing for an influx of international fans as the South Korean government unveils a strategic 'Welcome Week' hospitality campaign at Gimhae International Airport. Running from June 1 to 14, this specialized initiative is designed to roll out the red carpet for the thousands of travelers expected to descend upon the coastal city for the highly anticipated BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN BUSAN. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in collaboration with the Korea Tourism Organization and the Visit Korea Committee, has curated this experience to ensure that the global ARMY feels right at home from the moment they touch down.
Record-Breaking Anticipation
While the country previously hosted spring welcome events earlier this year, this specific two-week surge was added to the national calendar to accommodate the sheer volume of inbound traffic generated by the septet. With the stadium concerts scheduled for June 12 and 13 at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium, officials are leaving nothing to chance. Arriving passengers will be greeted by specialized, multilingual hospitality booths located on the first floor of the airport, providing comprehensive travel assistance and local guidance.
