Korea: Inspire hosts tourism event to boost international visitor growth

Inspire Entertainment Resort has stepped up efforts to attract more international visitors. The operator hosted Inbound Business Connect 2026 to strengthen partnerships with South Korea's inbound travel industry.

As reported by local media, the event was held in partnership with the Korea Association of Travel Agents (KATA) and brought together around 250 participants, including travel agencies and tourism industry representatives. 

The gathering provided Inspire with an opportunity to present its tourism offerings, discuss strategies for increasing overseas visitor arrivals, and introduce partnership programs tailored for inbound travel operators. Among the initiatives highlighted were casino incentive programs developed by the resort's Casino Mass team. 

Rather than focusing solely on hotel accommodations, Inspire emphasized integrated tourism products that combine entertainment, hospitality, meetings and events, and gaming experiences. Attendees were also invited to tour key attractions across the resort, including its Le Space immersive entertainment venue.

Kim Yu-na, Inspire's Assistant Vice President of Sales, said close cooperation with the inbound travel industry is essential to expanding international tourism. She added that the resort will continue developing partnerships aimed at strengthening its position as a leading global tourism destination in South Korea.

Located on Yeongjong Island near Incheon International Airport, Inspire is one of South Korea's newest integrated resorts. The property features three hotel towers with a combined 1,275 rooms, a 15,000-seat entertainment arena, an indoor water park, extensive MICE facilities, Korea's largest hotel ballroom, an outdoor entertainment park, a foreigner-only casino and a 150-meter digital entertainment street.

The latest initiative reflects Inspire's broader strategy of increasing overseas visitation by working more closely with the travel trade.
