It was a big transition for a travel magazine publisher to reposition itself as a tech company in 2013. “We had a readership of around 30,000 and two million Weibo followers who were fans of our magazine,” ZaiSeoul co-founder Jaeyoung Jang said. Founded in 2011, ZaiSeoul started out as a travel magazine. In Myeong-dong, a renowned Korean commercial district, coupon books attract pedestrians to nearby restaurants and hair salons. The travel website attracts a niche market of female tourists in their 20s and 30s by offering accommodation options like traditional Korean guest houses and boutique hotels, where their Chinese counterparts cannot.
