Gyeonggi Tourism Organization Launches 'Good Travel Campaign' Offering Up to 70% Discount on Tourist Attractions
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization will run the "Good Travel Campaign," offering up to 70% discounts on admission tickets to tourist attractions, on the social commerce platform TMON from the 11th to the 24th of next month to support local tourism businesses whose sales have sharply declined due to COVID-19.
This event is funded with 50% of the regular price covered by the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization and 20% by the respective tourism businesses. Buyers can purchase discounted admission tickets for their desired tourist sites in advance and then use the discount vouchers later.
The participating tourist sites include over 110 paid attractions, museums, art galleries, and pensions mainly visited by domestic tourists. Among these, about 80 sites are directly participating in the campaign, while the rest are offered through online and offline events.
Yoo Dong-gyu, CEO of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, stated, "This 'Good Travel Campaign' is expected to directly support the tourism industry in crisis, contribute to the recovery of travel sentiment, and revitalize tourism. In particular, the campaign can create a virtuous cycle where tourists generate additional sales through travel, positively impacting surrounding commercial districts."
