Everland has announced the return of the adorable Sanrio Characters for this year’s spring Tulip Festival! Everland, operated by the Samsung C&T Resort Group, is excited to elevate the customer experience for this year’s festival, which will begin on March 21. Located 1 hour from Seoul, Everland is the place to enjoy beautiful spring flowers in South Korea this spring.
A Successful First Season Called for Round Two
Last spring, Everland introduced a large-scale outdoor festival in collaboration with Sanrio Characters, with cute displays against beautiful spring flowers. This collaboration gained immense popularity among Gen Alpha, Gen Z, and family visitors.
During last year’s Tulip Festival, Everland saw a 10% increase in visitors compared to the previous year. The festival also achieved record-high satisfaction ratings, with online buzz more than doubling, and was praised as a successful collaboration that appealed to both children and parents.
Following the success of last year’s festival, Everland immediately began discussions with Sanrio Korea for a Season 2 collaboration, inspiring new and exciting experiences for this year.
