Travelers Return After COVID-19

Topic   Travelers Return After COVID-19   2023.06.05   The trend of travel books in Korea before and after COVID-19   After the Korean government lifted the bar for overseas travel in 1989, the major driver behind the growth of the travel book market in the 1990s was guidebooks, which mainly delivered information about the destination country. The introduction of the Across the World (RH Korea Co., Ltd., formerly published by Random House) series, which was the translated version of the magazine How to Walk on Earth published by Diamond Big in Japan, opened the first generation of travel guidebooks in Korea. In the late 1990s, the second-generation guidebooks such as the Centuplicate Your Joy (RH Korea) series and the Just Go (Sigongsa Co., Ltd.) series published, which the foreign rights were bought from Japanese publishers and translated in Korean. Since then, those series developed along with the revised editions and Korean writers began to actively engag...

Export Case   The Marketing Strategy forthe Chinese Version of The Mummy Book A Korean picture book sold more than 30K copies in a year:What was its secret to touching the hearts of Chinese moms?   2023.06.05   I remember the day I first opened the book, The Mummy Book (Korean publisher: Woongjin ThinkBig, Simplified Chinese Version Title: 我的?? (My Mom)), during the planning meeting deciding whether to publish it. On the sky blue cover, there was a round-faced young girl with curiosity all over her face, and its smooth feeling brought me back to the desk as I returned from work. I soon fell into the story.
