Korearesor started in Stockholm in 2006 and is the only Nordic company to specialise solely in Korea. At that time, there was not much knowledge about Korea in Sweden and since then, together with KTO (Korea Tourism Organization), they have done extensive work to increase understanding of Korea in the Nordics. They have conducted group tours, made individual programs, and helped companies with business exchanges in Korea. Over 17 years, they have not had a single complaint, only satisfied customers who have become like personal friends. Since they have our own staff and contacts on-site in Korea and do not use subcontractors, Korearesor believe they can offer both better service and a better price. Korearesor changed its name from Meari Travel in 2022.
