Seoul Tourism Foundation launches incubator for five tourism startups

The Seoul Tourism Foundation announced a recruitment drive for up to five tourism‑focused startups to become tenants of the Seoul Tourism Plaza. Applications are accepted until 6 p.m. on 17 August, and only firms that have operated for less than seven years in the tourism sector are eligible.

Selected companies will receive independent office space (one 2‑person room, three 10‑person rooms and one 12‑person room) for the 2027 calendar year, with the possibility of a one‑time extension of up to two years after a review. The programme also provides mentoring, an acceler‑ator track, IR and demo‑day events, and networking with investors and related agencies to aid rapid growth and overseas expansion.
