       You are correct in assuming that Morning Earth Tours is a new tour related company.  You may be wondering why anyone would start a new company that planned tours to Asia when so many companies already do that.  How can you trust a new company to plan a tour that would in any way be competitive with all the travel agencies with years of travel experience?

    Morning Earth Tours is not a “travel agency” we are designers of tours to Korea that are most often sold through travel agencies.  We also design tours for you, your business, group or organization.   We are a “helping hand” for travel to Korea and beyond.  That is why you find a ‘hand’ on our symbol.  Occasionally, we also plan special tours available only through us.  

    Actually, Morning Earth is not really “new”.  Morning Earth has been around for more than 30 years researching the arts and culture of Korea.   That research provided us the opportunity to travel the length and breadth of this marvelous country and meet hundreds of its artists and others who make up the foundation of Korea’s arts and culture.  Our many years of research places us in the unique position to be able to design tours beyond the “places” we call Korea to the events and especially the remarkable people that make up the heart of Korea’s rich arts and culture.  That is what makes Morning Earth competitive and, many believe, even better than other companies.  We touch the heart of Korea.

     While we are a new “commercial” company, we are not new to planning tours to Korea.  We have been doing that for more than 12 years, taking private tour groups to this wonderful land.  That is how we earned the endorsement of the Korean National Tourism office.   That is also why Gangjin, Korea approached us, rather than another travel company, to help them during their millennium years.  More importantly that is also why US Travel, a leader in travel to Korea and beyond - with agents throughout the world - agreed to partner with us to help us offer our unique tours to you.  They have decades of proven travel experience and didn’t need us unless we could provide something no one else had.

    We began this aspect of our company because we believe in Korea.  Korea has an extremely rich and vibrant “arts culture”.   We want to share what we have learned and introduce you to the wonderful “arts culture” that is at the heart of Korea. 

     If you want to experience Asia, you should not neglect Korea.  Korea is a marvelous country filled with the arts, vibrant in its beautiful culture and ready to welcome you.  It is the country most toured by the Japanese, Chinese and Russians. 

     In the winter it has outstanding skiing, in the spring, summer and autumn it has great festivals, swimming, hiking and golf (on some really amazing courses that are producing some exceptional golf professionals).  In autumn Korea’s mountains are fantastic.  However, for us, it is Korea’s people, their amazing artists as well as the wonderful ‘ordinary’ person you might meet on the street that touches us most - all year long. 

     We set our tour prices as reasonable as possible, basing our price on double occupancy. Most of our groups typically have 10 to 20 participants.     If our original target number of participants is not met we inform the confirmed guests for that tour and with the groups permission either raise the price slightly or cancel the tour and return the deposit.

     If you really would like to experience Korea and/or another Asian country, join a Morning Earth Tour.  If you have been to Korea before, join a Morning Earth tour to see it again for the first time.
