Up to 40% off the train or express bus, plus one Busan attraction free. The Korea Tourism Organization has been piloting a foreigner-only K-Tour Pass in Busan since Oct. 1, and both versions cost 15,000 won.
Why Busan
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism picked Busan as the pilot region because it is the most-wanted destination outside Seoul for foreign visitors.
The idea is to bundle transport and attraction discounts into one pass so travelling beyond the capital feels easier.
Two passes, one price
Pass 1 is a one-day zone pass. Pass 2 is a period pass linked to the benefits of the KORAIL Pass 2-5 day tickets. Both cost 15,000 won.
Buy the zone pass and one-way regional rail and bus fares to Busan drop by up to 40%. Airport Railroad express fares are discounted too.
One attraction free
Pick one of 35 partner attractions and get in once for free. Another 50 partners, including experience facilities and cafes, offer discounts.
The physical card pays for public transport and, once loaded with won, works like a debit card.
Where to buy and collect
Buy online through the Klook or Hop&Hop apps and websites. Physical cards can be collected at Incheon, Gimpo and Gimhae airports and at Seoul and Busan stations, among other places.
Reports don't give the pilot's end date, the airport rail discount rate or the full partner list, so check the product page before you buy.
