[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 22nd that it will hold an event using SK Telecom's digital map service T map to disperse travel demand during the summer vacation season.

From the 23rd to August 19th, if you set 100 contactless (untact) tourist destinations and night tourist spots selected by the Korea Tourism Organization and regional tourism organizations as T map destinations and visit them, you will be entered into a draw to receive prizes such as chicken sets, coffee, bingsu, and cultural gift certificates.

If you visit tourist sites in the Gyeongbuk region, you can also receive mobile gift certificates usable at 'Saiso,' a Gyeongbuk agricultural specialty product shopping mall. An event issuing 20% discount coupons (up to 30,000 KRW) for accommodations nationwide through the lodging platform 'Yogi-otdae' will also be held. Participation is possible through the event banner within T map.

The Korea Tourism Organization will also start a service from the 23rd introducing various themed travel destinations within T map, such as child-friendly travel spots, photogenic places, and relaxation travel destinations. Jung Chang-wook, head of the National Tourism Strategy Team at the Korea Tourism Organization, emphasized, "The opening status of tourist sites may continue to change due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19)," and added, "It is essential to check the opening status of tourist sites in advance."
