As far as tourism-related publicity stunts go, this is a pretty cool one. Starting at the end of February, select visitors to South Korea will be given a free Galaxy Note 5 and 1 GB of data per day to use during their stay, courtesy of Samsung and local carrier SK Telekom.
What's the catch, you might ask? There isn't one. It's all part of a publicity program to boost the international recognition of South Korea's impressive wireless infrastructure and state-of-the-art mobile technology. In co-operation with the Korea Tourism Organization, Samsung will provide up to 250 visitors per week with a free Galaxy Note 5 to use for up to five days and SK Telekom will provide 1 GB of data per day.

Note that not every visitor will receive this free device and data offer – you have to be selected through the application process – but it will give 12,000 tourists a year a taste of just how good mobile can be. If you've got a trip to South Korea planned after February, hit the KTO website to apply.
Imagine if 12,000 visitors to New York City were given a Nexus 6P with an unlimited data plan…
