New Delhi, July 04, 2020: The coronavirus pandemic has affected every industry and the entire world is leaving no stone unturned to get back on track. With every country focusing on safety, hygiene and sanitization, South Korea has been applauded worldwide for being one of the few nations to have successfully flattened the curve without a single lockdown. Korea being a forerunner in containing the virus, has been recognized by The World Bank in effectively handling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here, one can attain tranquility and enjoy a secluded stay and minimal interaction with service staff, leaving all worries behind. Owing to the current situation, visitors will opt for travelling in private vehicles as an alternative to crowded, community transport.
