This project was prepared to provide direct jobs to residents in need of livelihood support, such as vulnerable employment groups and unemployed or closed tourism industry workers who are experiencing economic difficulties due to the impact of COVID-19.

The first recruitment ended on the 24th, and the second additional recruitment is underway from yesterday until the 2nd of next month.

The selected personnel will perform tasks such as checking tourists’ temperatures, maintaining safe distances, managing quarantine, and inspecting the surrounding environment at six major tourist sites in the county, including Bulgapsa Tourist Site, the first arrival site of Baekje Buddhism, and Baeksu Coastal Road.

The final selected participants will work 15 to 40 hours per week for four months according to the project details, with wages of 8,590 KRW per hour, and parking and annual leave allowances will be paid separately.

Anyone aged 18 or older residing in the county can apply. After checking the county website, applicants should visit their local eup/myeon office with their ID and application form along with related documents.

A county official said, “We hope this Tourist Site Quarantine and Accommodation Readiness Improvement Project will contribute to creating a safe travel environment and alleviating travel anxiety for citizens who feel uneasy due to the recent spread of local COVID-19 infections, and also help residents facing job search difficulties.”
