Formerly known as “Joun Tour,” JN Tour is another major receptive operator based in<br />
LA. JN Tour has recently signed a contract directly with major wholesalers in Korea<br />
such as Lotte Tour and Jau Tour, without going through a ground agent in Korea. This<br />
is to minimize the cost that comes from working with middlemen. JN Tour continues to<br />
develop creative packages including different regions of <strong>California</strong>, and promotes them<br />
on their website. In addition, JN Tour has created a winery package that is currently<br />
sold by Lotte Tour. Unlike other tour operators based in Los Angeles, they only handle<br />
customers that booked tour packages through their contracted travel agents in Korea.<br />

Aju Tour has the longest history as a receptive operator based in L.A. With the VWP in<br />
place, Aju will expand their market from Seoul, reaching out to travel agencies based in<br />
other major cities. This is to target the residents of other cities, who can now travel to<br />
the USA without going through person-to-person interview in Seoul to obtain a visa. Aju<br />
Tour will target small to medium sized travel agents in Korea.<br />

Hana Tour Korea is the largest Korean wholesale travel agent, single-handedly<br />
controlling 25% of the Korea outbound travel agents’ volume. With the anticipation of<br />
increased visitors to USA, Hana Tour opened its branch office, Hana Tour USA, in Los<br />
Angeles in June 2006. As Hana Tour’s brand awareness is not as high as Samho or Aju,<br />
Hana is striving to promote its brand in the USA not to lose opportunities for the<br />
customers who look for tours after they arrive in the USA. Hana Tour continues to<br />
work on establishing its brand and networks with other tourism suppliers.<br />
