ActiDistribution partner · Seoul
We help global travel brands sell through Korea's travel companies.
ActiPartners connects global tour inventory to Korea's travel agencies, airlines, and financial channels. Integration, Korean-language operations, and settlement are handled on our side.
What we do
Selling global tours in Korea takes four things.
ActiPartners covers all four, so the channel only has to sell.
Channel integration
A B2B booking portal or widget goes live within days. A full API integration takes weeks. We design the path around what the channel's development team can take on.
Product localisation
Product names, descriptions, and usage instructions in Korean. Pricing shown in won. Information structured the way Korean travellers expect.
Customer operations
First-line support in Korean, booking changes and cancellations, escalation when something goes wrong on the ground.
Settlement
Won collection separated from foreign-currency settlement, monthly reconciliation, domestic tax handling.
Track record
Validated in pilot operation, then launched in July 2026.
The way we design distribution comes from an actual operating record, not from research. Listing, pricing, cancellation handling, review management, and settlement are things we have run and verified ourselves, from the supplier's side.

These products are currently operated by Like K Kids Co., Ltd., and their consolidation into ActiPartners is in progress.
Our own products
We build the products others cannot.
A Korean BBQ master. A tea ceremony specialist. A Korean fashion leader. A market curator. An independent film director. We run twelve private products, each hosted in person by a Korean specialist in their field.
Distributing global inventory and building original products at the same time is uncommon.

Why Korea needs this
Activities are the last category still moving online.
Flights, hotels, and home-sharing have effectively completed the shift. Close to half of all activity bookings still happen offline, and that remaining half is now moving online faster than anything else in travel — the shift itself is what drives the growth.
Korea shows this gap sharply. Major Korean agencies move an enormous volume of outbound travellers, but local activities are still bundled inside packages, and the standalone market is only beginning to develop. As travellers shift toward independent trips, this part of their spending leaves for foreign platforms.
Direct sourcing does not solve it
- Sourcing at scale is not realisticContracting thousands of small local operators one by one is not a staffing problem a travel company can solve.
- Inventory and settlement carry the riskBuying tickets up front means unsold stock, multi-country settlement, and refund handling all sit with the channel.
- Product counts have outgrown manual managementListings for a single attraction have doubled or tripled in five years, and the count grows every year.

Start with a feasibility check.
We look at the channel's structure and development capacity first, then decide together which integration method fits. Commercial terms and technical review come after that.
