Accommodation worth 70,000 won for 40,000 won... How to Get the Resumed Accommodation Discount Coupons

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization will resume the "National Accommodation Discount Coupon with Safe Travel" support project from 10 a.m. on the 4th.

The accommodation discount coupons can be issued once per person when booking domestic accommodations through a total of 24 online travel agencies (OTAs) participating in the project. The total issuance volume is 1 million coupons. There are 200,000 coupons worth 30,000 KRW for accommodations priced at 70,000 KRW or less, and 800,000 coupons worth 40,000 KRW for accommodations priced above 70,000 KRW.

The stay dates are limited to November 4 to December 23, excluding Christmas and the year-end and New Year holidays, to revitalize the off-season domestic tourism market and create additional tourism demand.

Once a coupon is issued, the accommodation must be booked within the valid time (from 10 a.m. on the day of issuance to 7 a.m. the next day). If the coupon is not used within this time or if the reservation is canceled, the coupon will be automatically invalidated, but reissuance is possible until the coupons are exhausted.

The discount applies only to registered and reported domestic accommodations such as hotels, condos, resorts, pensions, rural homestays, and motels. Coupons cannot be used for unregistered accommodations, accommodations provided through overseas online travel agencies, or for short-term room rentals.

Meanwhile, as the project resumes, various promotions will be conducted through collaboration with related organizations and companies. Korea Railroad Corporation offers a 25% discount coupon for up to four one-way train rides for coupon users, Green Car Co., Ltd. provides a 35% discount coupon for shared vehicles, and the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service runs a prize event for accommodation coupon purchase certification for holders of the "Munhwa Nuri Card."

Additionally, participating companies (OTAs) will offer individual planned product exhibitions, card discounts, point accumulation, and other benefits. Support is also provided for dedicated call centers for the disabled, exclusive KakaoTalk channels, and coupon issuance through travel agencies specializing in services for the disabled. However, the project may be suspended depending on the spread of COVID-19 and government guidelines.
