Gwangju Buk-gu Operates Healing Tour to Overcome COVID Blue

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 5th that it will operate the 'Overcoming Corona Blue Healing Tour' to support the local tourism industry, which has been stagnated due to COVID-19.

This project was prepared to provide residents exhausted by COVID-19 with an opportunity to recharge, promote tourism demand, and revitalize local tourism.

Accordingly, Buk-gu will recruit 25 local travel agencies to operate the tours within this month.

The selected agencies will develop and operate various tour products that can be enjoyed in Buk-gu and nearby cities, counties, and districts, such as food experiences, cigar culture zones, and Mudeungsan trekking, while Buk-gu will support product development costs, promotion costs, and operation costs.

The tours are scheduled to be held a total of 25 times from October to December, with up to 20 participants per session.

Participation in the tours is open to anyone who is a resident of Buk-gu or a tourist, and participants will be recruited through the Buk-gu Office website and the Gwangju Tourism Association reservation system in September.

Moon In, the head of Buk-gu Office, said, “I hope this healing tour will comfort residents exhausted by COVID-19 and serve as an opportunity to revitalize the local tourism industry.”
