The South Korean antitrust regulator has approved travel platform operator Yanolja Co.’s purchase of e-commerce firm Interpark Corp.’s travel business, which Yanolja acquired a 70% stake in for 301.1 billion won (US$231.3 million) in 2021. After a monthslong review, the regulator gave the green light to the combination, stating that there were no concerns that the corporate merger would hurt competition in the domestic online travel platform market. Yanolja is known for its hotels and accommodations reservation platform, while Interpark offers a range of services, including travel, performing arts, and online shopping. The acquisition is set to enhance Yanolja’s travel business capabilities.
