Jeonnam Province Significantly Expands Support for Travel Products in the COVID Era

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province has significantly expanded support for travel products to strengthen win-win cooperation with the travel industry in the COVID-19 era.

On the 25th, the province announced that it will greatly expand the ‘Jeonnam Travel Product Operation Support (Incentive) Project’ to support travel companies struggling due to COVID-19 and revitalize the local tourism industry, supporting 177 products from 48 companies featuring various themes and experiences.

This is more than double the scale compared to last year’s 24 companies and 66 travel products.

In particular, the minimum number of people supported per vehicle has been relaxed from 20 to 4, allowing support for small-scale Jeonnam trips.

However, if the quarantine level is raised, travel product operations may be suspended, and operations must be conducted within 60% of the bus capacity per vehicle, with strict adherence to quarantine rules such as temperature checks and provision of quarantine supplies.

The main selected travel products are unique, including a fishing experience healing product that lets you enjoy beautiful sea tourism and fishing to shake off the frustration caused by COVID-19, a pet tour product prepared in response to the increase in pet owners, and a new gourmet travel experience called ‘Jeonnam Taste Cooking Class with a Chef,’ where participants make and experience Namdo cuisine firsthand.

Through these products, one can enjoy the simple happiness of preparing heartfelt food for someone and sharing a meal together.

Kim Byung-joo, Director of the Tourism, Culture and Sports Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, “We hope that selecting more than twice the number of supported companies and travel products compared to last year will provide more practical help to travel companies struggling due to COVID-19.”
