[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 3rd that it will hold a discount event for Gyeongnam travel products targeting workers nationwide in line with the government's resumption of the tourism sector consumer discount voucher program.

The province plans to provide a total of 200 million KRW in additional discount coupons ranging from 50,000 KRW to 200,000 KRW to workers who purchase Gyeongnam travel products in connection with the government's 'Worker Vacation Support Project.'

The discount coupons will be distributed through a random draw to participants who leave a comment on 'Why I want to travel to Gyeongnam' at the dedicated online store (Vacation Shop) for workers participating in the 'Worker Vacation Support Project.'

The Gyeongnam travel product discount coupons will be given to a total of 3,785 people: 5 people will receive 200,000 KRW coupons, 100 people will receive 100,000 KRW coupons, and 3,680 people will receive 50,000 KRW coupons, aiming to encourage visits to Gyeongnam.

The 'Worker Vacation Support Project' is a program where companies and the government support domestic travel expenses for workers nationwide to foster a free vacation atmosphere in the workplace and revitalize domestic tourism. This year, 120,000 workers from small and medium-sized enterprises, small business owners, and non-profit private organizations nationwide are eligible.

If a worker pays 200,000 KRW, the company and government each support 100,000 KRW in vacation expenses, allowing the worker to purchase travel products worth a total of 400,000 KRW. This is conducted through the dedicated online store 'Benepia Vacation Shop.'

The application period is until the 12th, the announcement will be on the 17th, and the discount coupons can be used until January 31.

Lee Jae-cheol, Director of the Tourism Promotion Division of the province, emphasized, "I hope this discount event will help revitalize the local economy even a little," and added, "We ask the tourism industry to do their best in quarantine measures to ensure safe travel."
