[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 26th that it will operate the 'COVID-19 Overcome Healing Tour' until September to support the travel industry struggling due to COVID-19.

This project was prepared to provide citizens with an opportunity to recharge amid COVID-19 and to revitalize local tourism in connection with the Gwangju Biennale.

Accordingly, Buk-gu supports 24 local travel agencies with product development costs, promotion expenses, and operating costs.

The travel agencies conduct tours experiencing Namdo culture and arts targeting residents, tourists, and COVID-19 medical staff.

The tours are operated while strictly adhering to quarantine rules by designating quarantine managers to prevent the spread of COVID-19, with each tour limited to fewer than 20 people, exploring tourist attractions throughout the region such as Mudeungsan, the City Culture Zone, Biennale Exhibition Hall, and the Namdo Local Food Museum.

For tour participation and other detailed information, inquiries can be made to the Gwangju Tourism Association or the Buk-gu Office Sports and Tourism Division.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, "I hope this healing tour will comfort residents exhausted by COVID-19 and serve as an opportunity to revitalize the local tourism industry through attracting tourists."
