[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 23rd that it will hold a half-price event for Gokseong tourist taxis until October 31.

This event was prepared to revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19, and to provide healing to those who are exhausted. Customers who use the Gokseong tourist taxi during the event period can immediately receive a 30,000 won Gokseong Simcheong gift certificate.

Considering that the tourist taxi fare is 60,000 won for 3 hours, this means receiving half of the fare back. The Gokseong Simcheong gift certificate can be freely used at over 500 affiliated stores within the Gokseong area.

In addition, tourist taxi customers can enjoy benefits such as discounts on various experience products and accommodations.

First, you can experience paragliding, which lets you enjoy the sky thrillingly, at a 30% discounted price. Also, representative products of Gokseong such as the steam locomotive, Seomjingang rail bike, and zipline can be used at 20% cheaper prices, and you can stay at local guesthouses Gokseong Stay (branches 2 to 10), where you can feel the rural atmosphere, at a 10% discounted price.

Furthermore, the S-train & Gokseong tourist taxi, which has temporarily suspended operation due to the COVID-19 aftermath, can be used at a discounted price of 15,000 won per person once operations resume.

The S-train & Gokseong tourist taxi is a linked product with Korail Tourism Development, and fares range from around 60,000 won to over 100,000 won depending on the number of travelers.

The Gokseong tourist taxi is a travel transportation service operated by Gokseong-gun and the Gokseong Tourist Taxi Association since 2016. The 10 drivers have various knowledge about the region, including culture and experiences, making it good for traveling every corner from famous tourist spots to hidden attractions.

In particular, as group travel and multi-use facilities are avoided due to COVID-19 and contactless travel is gaining attention, it has become an appropriate alternative for travelers. The tourist taxi side also welcomes guests with thorough quarantine measures such as providing hand sanitizer inside the vehicle and attaching antibacterial film to handles.

Ko Byeong-mu, president of the Gokseong Tourist Taxi Association, said, “We hope you find small happiness in your daily life through a leisurely and quiet trip with a customized guide just for you.”
