The 'Visit Korea' smartphone application ("app") is the main Korea travel app developed by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) for foreign travellers. The KTO has released 'Visit Korea 2.0', the upgraded version of the original 'Visit Korea'.

'Visit Korea 2.0' contains more Korea travel content and information, which have been optimized for mobile use and increased user-friendliness. It is available for free download on iPhone and Android.
 

The first 'Visit Korea' app was released in February 2011 to provide comprehensive information on Korea tourism for the rapidly growing population of smartphone users around the world.

The most notable feature of 'Visit Korea 2.0' is the mobile optimization of 3,500 database entries for Korea's tourist attractions, restaurants, accommodations, shops, transportation etc. While 'Visit Korea' offered mobile optimization for the key contents only, now it is a lot more convenient for the users to browse through the app and look up specific contents.

All database entries have a map to assist foreign travellers find directions to their desired destinations.
 

Furthermore, 'Visit Korea 2.0' allows users to share individual contents on their personal Social Networking Sites including Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare, further expanding opportunities to promote Korea travel content.

As the number of Smartphone users across the globe soars, the number of foreign travelers demanding and acquiring tourist information via Smartphone applications also increases.
