The volunteer workers can speak English, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. Based on their language skills, they will form a team of three or four and patrol the streets near Jamsil Station and the Lotte World amusement park area to offer help to foreign tourists.
The translators will wear yellow vests with “We Can Volunteer” written on them. Tourists can approach them with questions regarding directions and recommendations to must-visit sites.
