Please provide the context or sentence where '유원시설업' is used, so I can suggest an appropriate alternative term. View original image


The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Tourism Organization, and the Korea Amusement Facilities Association announced on the 27th that they will hold a contest to find a new industry name to replace 'Yuwon Siseol-eop (遊園施設業)' until the 22nd of next month. Yuwon Siseol-eop refers to businesses equipped with amusement facilities or equipment for tourists to use. It is composed of Sino-Korean characters rarely used in daily life, resulting in low public understanding. There have also been calls to change the term to keep up with the era of global theme parks and various amusement rides.



The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is seeking an alternative term that is easy for everyone to understand. Im Seonghwan, Director of Tourism Industry Policy at the Ministry, said, "We ask for your interest and participation so that the name can be transformed into one that well expresses the industry's characteristics and gains consensus from the public and the industry." Anyone can participate in the contest. Submit the new name and its meaning through the Amusement Facility Safety Information Network website. Up to three entries per person are allowed. The winning entries will be announced in December.
