[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Is there a place where children and adolescents can travel abroad without getting vaccinated? Or not?

Air Busan will hold an Instagram event for one month starting from the 15th to promote the newly launched Busan~Saipan route, which began service on the 23rd of last month.

Air Busan has prepared three events: △ a quiz related to Saipan travel destinations △ an international route photo contest △ a video review event titled ‘Saipan Trip Taken by Flight Attendants Themselves’.

Winners will receive various prizes including △ round-trip domestic flight tickets from Air Busan (5 tickets) △ Air Busan model airplanes (5 units) △ coffee gifticons (60 units).

Event periods, participation details, and winner announcements can be found on Air Busan’s Instagram.

An Air Busan official stated, “Since the 9th, unvaccinated individuals under 18 years old can enter the destination without quarantine if accompanied by a vaccinated guardian, allowing family trips with minors.”

Air Busan added, “We prepared fun events using SNS channels to promote the charm of Saipan and help travelers easily prepare for their Saipan trip.”

Air Busan started the new Busan~Saipan route on the 23rd of last month and operates once a week on Sundays.

Saipan currently has a travel bubble agreement with South Korea, so domestic arrivals are exempt from self-quarantine. However, travelers aged 6 to under 18 must quarantine for 7 days upon return.

According to the Mariana Tourism Authority, the local vaccination completion rate reaches 99.9%, making it known as a relatively safe travel destination.
