The cooperation program between 3 units aims to promote tourism between Vietnam and Korea. NAPAS cooperates with Saigontourist Travel to exchange and implement effective marketing activities, to promote cashless payments, and support tourism development between the two countries.
Accordingly, NAPAS cards are introduced directly to Vietnamese tourists coming to Korea through Saigontourist Travel, to promote and encourage the use of NAPAS cards to pay for goods, food, entertainment, etc. at payment acceptance points (“NAPAS”) of the BC Card system throughout Korea.
This not only brings many practical benefits to tourists in particular, but also promotes the development of the tourism industry and cashless payments in general, contributing to the national digital transformation according to the Prime Minister's Decision.
The cooperation program to promote tourism and cross-border payments between Saigontourist Travel and NAPAS is widely communicated so that people can access information, use services, and interact with the program.
In addition to the benefits for tourists, the program also has great significance in promoting cross-border payment activities between Vietnam and countries in the region using NAPAS domestic cards.
