We want you to be Seoul Greeters!
Seoul Greeters volunteer as a local friend walks and shows around Seoul.
We are a member of the International Greeter Association.
IGA was started in New York by Lynn Brooks. When New York was notorious for crime and gangsters, she took tourists and visitors to hidden local spots in New York to change the negative image to a friendly appearance. She changed and gave a new picture of New York.
IGA is a worldwide network of more than 140 city/regional Greeter organizations sharing a common drive to create a unique experience by connecting visitors with enthusiastic local volunteers.
It shouldn’t be necessary to speak well but to have a warm heart.
We want The idea: Greeter Concept.
Greeters welcome visitors to Seoul and take them on a personal, two- to three-hour walk, showing them the town beyond the guidebooks and off the beaten track. Greeters are volunteers who love Seoul city or region and are keen to share their enthusiasm and knowledge about Seoul city or the area. Visitors discover the city on foot or using the public transport network during the walk. Whether visiting a city for the first time or as a regular visitor, Seoul Greeters welcome them to Seoul city and look
forward to showing them a part of “their” city.
