The launch ceremony was attended by Park Hyung-joon, Mayor of Busan Metropolitan City, Dominic Signora, President of Renault Samsung, and Kim Nam-jin, CEO of Tour Staff.
Tourzy is a service introduced by Busan's tourism venture startup company 'Tour Staff,' offering a contactless mobility sharing service that allows users to reserve and return vehicles using a smartphone.
