[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A project to support the vacation of workers at Busan Port is underway.

Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Nam Ki-chan) announced on the 21st that it will promote the "Busan Port Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Worker Vacation Support Project" to support workers of SMEs at Busan Port who are struggling due to COVID-19. The application period is open until July 5.

When SMEs and workers at Busan Port participate in the Korea Tourism Organization's "Worker Vacation Support Project," Busan Port Authority supports part of the cost.

This project has been promoted since 2020 to create a free vacation culture and support the domestic travel industry, which has been depressed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The Korea Tourism Organization's "Worker Vacation Support Project" provides workers with points worth 400,000 KRW for domestic travel products if the worker pays 200,000 KRW, and the affiliated company and government each pay 100,000 KRW.

This vacation support system can be used for accommodation, transportation, and ticket purchases during the vacation period.

In the "2021 Busan Port SME Worker Vacation Support Project," up to 5 workers per company can be supported, and a total of 75 SME workers will be selected.

If selected, Busan Port Authority will support 100,000 KRW each for the company and the worker's share, so the worker only needs to pay 100,000 KRW to use domestic travel products worth 400,000 KRW.

Eligibility conditions are △ SMEs located in Busan and Gyeongnam engaged in port-related industries or △ SMEs and workers with usage records (cargo, passengers) at Busan Port. Companies wishing to participate can check detailed information on the Busan Port Authority website or the Sangsaengnuri site. The application period is from June 21 to July 5.

For more details, contact the Busan Port SME Worker Vacation Support Project manager at the Social Value Office of Busan Port Authority.

President Nam Ki-chan said, "I hope this helps the SMEs and workers at Busan Port who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "The authority will strive to realize ESG management and cooperate for mutual growth with the local economy."
