The Rail-ro Pass offers a 20,000 won discount. Travel products offer discounts of up to 50%. Reservation and use periods vary by product, and Vacation Shop is exclusively for program participants.\n\nThe figures and dates are based on the September 15, 2026 announcement and the Korea Tourism Organization's fall campaign information.\n\n## What is the Travel in Fall campaign?\n\nIt is a domestic travel campaign that provides information on transportation, accommodation, and tourism product benefits. It is organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization. Each benefit has a separate booking channel and terms of use. The campaign announcement date is not the sales start date for every product. [Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism campaign announcement](https://www.mcst.go.kr/site/s_notice/news/newsView.jsp?pSeq=5899)\n\n## Transportation discount reservation and use periods\n\nTransportation benefits must be divided into rail discounts and airline and driving points. All dates below are in 2026. The Rail-ro Pass has a separate reservation deadline.\n\n| Category | Reservation and issuance period | Travel and use period | Benefit and eligibility requirements |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Independent travel products for population-decline areas | September 15 to November 26 | October 1 to November 30, with departures by November 28 | A rail discount coupon equal to 100% of the purchased ticket fare after verification at a designated attraction |\n| Themed trains | September 15 to November 26 | October 1 to November 30 | 50% off fares on five designated regular routes |\n| Rail-ro Pass | September 24 to November 23 | October 1 to November 30, with use starting by November 24 | Flat 20,000 won discount on the pass |\n| Domestic flights | September 15 to November 30 | October 1 to November 30 | Points for purchasing and using designated round-trip routes |\n| Car travel | No separate reservation period listed | October 1 to November 30 | Up to 30,000 cumulative points for meeting the requirements for visiting population-decline areas |\n| Low-emission rental cars in coastal areas | September 15 to October 31 | October 1 to October 31 | Discounts based on region and rental duration |\n\nThese dates are specified in the Korea Tourism Organization's transportation benefits information. [Detailed transportation benefits information](https://korean.visitkorea.or.kr/travelmonth/benefits/traffic.do)\n\nThe flight benefit applies to designated round-trip routes on Naver Flights. Mainland routes award 10,000 points per person. Jeju routes award 5,000 points per person. The benefit applies to up to four people per reservation.\n\nFor car travel, participants must pledge to drive safely and use an eco-friendly vehicle. They must drive at least 30 km from the departure point. Visits to the participant's area of residence and repeat visits to the same area are excluded from point accrual. Check the TMAP event screen for detailed participation requirements. [Transportation support announcement](https://www.korea.kr/news/policyNewsView.do?newsId=148971932\u0026pWise=main\u0026pWiseMain=L4)\n\n## Comparison of travel product coupons and Vacation Shop requirements\n\nGeneral travel product discounts and Vacation Shop discounts have different eligibility requirements. Being an employee alone does not qualify someone to use Vacation Shop. Participants must complete program enrollment and register with Vacation Shop.\n\n| Category | Fall travel product discount | Employee Vacation Support Program discount |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Eligibility | Buyers of participating products in the discount sale | Those who have completed program enrollment and Vacation Shop registration |\n| Issuance and promotion period | Coupons issued from September 21 to November 20, 2026 | Promotion from September 15 to October 30, 2026 |\n| Reservation period | Check the purchase period for each product | According to the notice, October 1 to November 22, 2026 |\n| Use period | October 1 to November 30, 2026 | Stays from October 1 to November 30, 2026 |\n| Discount | Up to 50%, with a limit of 50,000 won per payment | Up to 50%, with a limit of 50,000 won |\n| Products | Packages, admission tickets, experience vouchers, and tour passes | Partner accommodations, admission tickets, transportation passes, and more |\n\nThe general discount sale is operated on Gmarket. Separate information is provided about a 5% coupon for packages. The discount rate and method for combining discounts must be checked on the payment screen for each product. The 50% and 5% discounts cannot simply be added together and calculated as a blanket 55% discount.\n\nVacation Shop lists the promotion period and the available reservation period separately. They must not be combined into a single continuous discount period. The operating schedule for each product is the final schedule that must be checked. [Korea Tourism Organization travel product benefits](https://korean.visitkorea.or.kr/travelmonth/benefits/special.do)\n\n## Accommodation, camping, and regional visit benefits\n\nSome accommodation benefits end earlier than the transportation discounts. The coupon issuance and check-in period for the Accommodation Sale Festa is September 22 to November 8, 2026. The general accommodation offer excludes Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Sejong, and Chungbuk.\n\n| Accommodation category | Product price requirement | Discount amount |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| General, at least 1 night | At least 20,000 won and less than 70,000 won | 20,000 won |\n| General, at least 1 night | At least 70,000 won | 30,000 won |\n| At least 2 consecutive nights | At least 140,000 won | 70,000 won |\n| Island area offer | At least 30,000 won and less than 70,000 won | 30,000 won |\n| Island area offer | At least 70,000 won | 50,000 won |\n\nThe island area offer applies to participating products in designated municipalities. The accommodation discount coupon is limited to one per person. Check the Accommodation Sale Festa for regional participation and remaining quantities.\n\nEasy Camping provides a 10,000 won benefit for products at registered campgrounds. Coupons are issued from September 15 to November 28, 2026. The check-in period is set from October 1 to November 30, 2026. Requirements for completing the stay and the method of receiving the benefit must be checked with each booking platform. [Detailed accommodation and camping information](https://korean.visitkorea.or.kr/travelmonth/benefits/stay.do)\n\nLocal Love Vacation Support is separate from travel product coupons. It requires approval of a travel plan and documentation of expenses. Support is provided through mobile local gift certificates. Eligible regions and recognized expenses must be checked in the relevant local government's announcement. [Local Love Vacation Support announcement](https://www.korea.kr/news/policyNewsView.do?newsId=148971932\u0026pWise=main\u0026pWiseMain=L4)\n\n### Digital Tourism Resident Card and national heritage benefits\n\nThe Digital Tourism Resident Card is a service that provides tourism benefits at participating local businesses. It is issued after registration and identity verification. At the site, use is verified through a QR code or mobile coupon. Simply receiving the card and actually using the benefits are separate. [Digital Tourism Resident Card service overview](https://korean.visitkorea.or.kr/dgtourcard/biz/svcIntro/svcIntro.do)\n\nThe National Heritage Visit Campaign also offers separate fall benefits. From September to November 2026, benefits are linked to the visit passport. Some locations offer free admission and gift certificates on a first-come, first-served basis. Check the National Heritage Visit Campaign for eligible locations and remaining quantities. [Korea Heritage Agency fall benefits announcement](https://kh.or.kr/brd/board/715/L/menu/373?bbIdx=119740\u0026brdType=R\u0026searchField=\u0026searchText=\u0026thisPage=1)\n\n## Common mistakes and schedule combinations\n\nA common mistake is to treat the campaign end date as the deadline for every benefit. The following examples apply the announced periods together. Actual reservation availability must be checked separately.\n\n| Situation | Assessment |\n| --- | --- |\n| Using a coastal-area rental car coupon for a November trip | Not applicable because the rental car use period ends in October |\n| Starting a Rail-ro trip in late November | The overall use period and the deadline for starting the pass must be distinguished |\n| Combining accommodation and rail discounts in mid-November | Even if it falls within the rail period, the Accommodation Sale Festa check-in period has already ended |\n| Paying at Vacation Shop with a general travel product coupon | They have different sales channels and eligibility requirements, so they cannot be treated as the same coupon |\n\nRental car discount amounts also differ between official sources. The September 15 announcement states 10,000 won for 24 hours outside Jeju. The Korea Tourism Organization's detailed page lists 12,000 won for the same period. The reason for the difference has not been confirmed, so the amount applied on the reservation screen must be checked.\n\nFor Jeju, the announcement states 5,000 won for 24 hours. The detailed information lists up to 7,000 won. This difference cannot be assumed to be an additional discount for every reservation. [Announcement article](https://www.korea.kr/news/policyNewsView.do?newsId=148971932\u0026pWise=main\u0026pWiseMain=L4), [Transportation benefits page](https://korean.visitkorea.or.kr/travelmonth/benefits/traffic.do)\n\n## Difference between the payment amount and benefits received later\n\nWhen calculating travel expenses, discounts received immediately must be separated from benefits received later. Points or coupons for a future trip are different from the current payment amount. Adding together the maximum amounts of different benefits can exaggerate the savings.\n\n| Form of benefit | Treatment when calculating travel expenses |\n| --- | --- |\n| Discount at checkout | Deduct only the amount actually applied to the order |\n| Points after use | Record separately from the payment amount as a benefit expected to be credited |\n| Rail coupon after visit verification | Record as a separate benefit whose conditions for later use must be checked |\n| Reimbursement through local gift certificates | Record the approval and documentation requirements together with the area where they can be used |\n\nThe payment amount and benefits received later can be entered in separate columns in the budget table. Gift certificates cannot be used everywhere that cash can. If it has not been confirmed whether coupons can be combined, it is more accurate not to add them together.\n\n## How to check early closures and changes\n\nBenefits may end before the official closing date if the budget is exhausted. The Korea Tourism Organization's transportation benefits information includes the following statement.\n\n\u003e “Benefits may end early if the budget is exhausted.”\n\u003e\n\u003e Korea Tourism Organization, “Travel Month Transportation Benefits”\n\nA schedule alone cannot show the remaining coupons or seats. The validity period for each product must also be checked. Check them in the following order.\n\n1. Find the relevant benefit in the transportation, accommodation, or travel product menu on Travel Month.\n2. Check the linked operating page for notices that sales have ended or coupons are exhausted.\n3. Compare the reservation date, departure date, and check-in date requirements in the product details.\n4. Before payment, check the discount amount applied and how the coupon will be handled if the reservation is canceled.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n### Does the Rail-ro discount apply to regular KTX tickets?\n\nThe Rail-ro Pass discount is separate from the purchase of regular KTX tickets. The pass discount amount cannot be applied directly to a regular ticket.\n\n### Does receiving a coupon complete the reservation?\n\nCoupon issuance does not mean that the reservation is complete. Product availability and reservation confirmation status must be checked separately.\n\n### Can any employee receive the Vacation Shop discount?\n\nParticipants must complete enrollment in the Employee Vacation Support Program and register with Vacation Shop. Employee status alone does not qualify someone for the benefit.\n\n### Is the 100% rail fare benefit a cash refund?\n\nThe announced benefit is a rail discount coupon equal to the fare. It must not be interpreted as eliminating the cash payment for the current trip.\n\n### Can multiple benefits all be combined for one trip?\n\nEven if the travel dates are the same, benefits are not automatically combined. The payment terms and coupon restrictions for each product must be compared.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eTravel in Fall 2026 is a domestic travel discount campaign for October and November.
