This fall, I visited Naejangsan National Park (내장산국립공원), one of Korea’s most famous maple-filled mountains, to test something new: the AI Travel Butler service that’s being trialed here until April, 2026. Imagine exploring Korea’s best fall foliage without language barriers, long waits, or confusion about where to go next. That’s exactly what AI Travel Butler makes possible. 🗣️ Multilingual Convenience The information desk now uses real-time translation technology, so even if you don’t speak Korean, you can ask detailed questions about hiking routes, temple sites, or cable car schedules. It also supports docent interpretation, meaning you can join Korean-only park tours and programs, now translated instantly into your own language. 📍 Smart Maps & Recommended Routes Scan the QR code at any entrance, and the AI Travel Butler suggests the best trail based on your pace, time, and interests. It even updates live congestion levels across the park, so you can avoid crowds and enjoy the quieter trails. 🚡 Real-Time Updates You’ll Actually Use This was my favorite part: the cable car congestion tracker. When we checked it, the system showed a one-hour wait, so we explored other trails instead. Later, it showed “ample space,” and we hopped right on. No waiting, no guessing. 🔊 Built for a Better Visitor Experience The AI Travel Butler also provides safety notifications based on sound detection and shows parking congestion in real-time. ⛑️ There is also a safety service whereby sound detectors in certain areas pick up a scream for help and notify proper authorities. Honestly, it made the day smoother, easier, and so much more immersive. If this test goes well, the service will expand to other national parks and tourist destinations across Korea. Would you use this? Leave a comment so the company behind the service knows we’re rooting for them.
