KTO News Review

The “Korea Always Welcomes You” campaign is a joint initiative between the KTO and Visit Korea Year to create a safer and more pleasant environment for tourism in Korea. In addition to providing travel safety tips such as “How to use the 1330 TT Call Center” and “How to tell Call vans from Jumbo Taxi,” the campaign aims to engage local citizens in accomplishing its mission.

The ‘1330 TT Call Center’ is a 24-hour tourist information hotline that offers useful tips for travel in Korea as well as interpretation services. In an emergency situation, the Call Center may be used to reach the National Police Agency (112).

When it comes to transportation, there are several different options to choose from. Call vans and jumbo taxis are a couple of them. Call vans are used for transporting only passengers with large freight or luggage, whereas jumbo taxis are for transporting passengers with or without luggage. Call vans are prohibited from carrying taxi installations (e.g. roof sign, meter, etc.) or transporting passengers without luggage. Call van fares are self-regulated (i.e. negotiable), whereas jumbo taxi fares are metered.
