The ASEAN-Korea Centre will release tourism promotional videos for the "ASEAN-Korea Familiarization Tour 2020”, to provide the public with an opportunity to virtually travel to ASEAN and help them deal with pandemic-induced travel nostalgia. The videos were produced in collaboration with the tourism agencies of Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand, with K-pop star Kim Jun-su as the narrator introducing ASEAN’s attractive tourist destinations.

The first promotional video of Malaysia covers 5 charming cities, from Kuala Lumpur, a vibrant city already well-known to Koreans; Johor Baru, the southern jewel of Malaysia; Sabah, the hidden gem of the country; Penang, the culinary capital; to Selangor, a state where people can take a break from the city and relax.

The second promotional video of the Philippines introduces ‘safe tourism’ in areas such as Boracay, Mimaropa and Calabarzon, where people can enjoy the tranquility of nature, experience the region’s culture and history, as well as enjoy their food.

The third promotional video of Thailand introduces Bangkok, a city loved by travelers from all over the world; Koh Tao, an island known for its spectacular beaches; Chanthaburi, a city blessed with natural beauty; Chiang Mai, the ultimate destination for backpackers; and Khon Kaen, a new wellness tourism hub in ASEAN.

The ASEAN Fam-Tour tourism promotion video, in which Kim Junsu participated as the narrator, promotes Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. They are scheduled to be uploaded on the ASEAN-Korea Centre’s official YouTube channel and the ASEAN tourism agencies’ official channels on the 15th, 17th, and 19th, respectively.
