BC Card(CEO Suh, Jooh-Hee, www.bccard.com) announced on the 6th that it released “Wanccwuanhankwe(玩转韩国)" application for Chinese tourists(hereafter “Yowukhe” 遊客), which provides various kinds of information on tourism in Korea.

In order to provide convenient services to an increasing number of “Yowukhe”,  "Wanccwuanhankwe " application is characterized by △ the reservation and payment for the lease of wireless communication products by Korea Telecom (phones for lease and egg, etc.), △ the provision of map service in Chinese, and △ the reservation of hotel rooms and travel products, etc.

For the maximization of convenience of Yowukhe for shopping, it includes the function of checking traffic information on a real-time basis for airport shuttles and searching for subway lines, and providing and selling various kinds of Giftishow (mobile pre-paid products), tickets for performance, and discount coupons for member stores, etc.

With "Wanccwuanhankwe" application, the additional service will be provided for automatic application for value-added tax return.

Automatic VAT(Value-added Tax) Return(TR) is a kind of service by which Yowukhe can make an automatic application for VAT return immediately once they pay by Union Pay cards in the member stores in partnership with Global Taxfree, Co., Ltd.  It will curtail the previous inconvenient procedures customers should experience for VAT returns to enhance the degree of satisfaction for Yowukhe’s travel in Korea.

VAT Return(TR), scheduled to be launched during January next year, will enable Yowukhe planning to visit Korea with all the necessary things for tourism prepared only with “Wanccwuanhankwe" application, if VAT automatic return service is provided.

The relevant staff in BC Card made it clear that "the company would provide better environment to Chinese Free Individual Travelers(FIT) who visit Korea and this will increase retail sales in Korea.” He added that it would provide the best online portal services in Korea for Yowukhe as well as expand its partnership with merchants they prefer.
