[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, will operate the Gimhae Tourism Taxi starting from the 14th.


This is to respond to the trend of preferring small-scale, short-term travel due to the large-scale spread of COVID-19 and to support autonomous travel for tourists.


The city received operator applications through an open recruitment, selected five people through the first document screening and second interview, and held a commissioning ceremony, tourist site guidance, and customer service training on the 11th.


Tourists living in other regions can use the service, and reservations can be made through the Gimhae City website tourism portal at least 5 days before the trip.


The fare is 80,000 KRW for 4 hours and 160,000 KRW for 8 hours, but the city supports 50%, so users only pay half the cost.


The taxi operates focusing on tourist attractions desired by tourists, and users can also choose recommended tourist courses introduced on the Gimhae tourism portal.



A city official said, “The Gimhae Tourism Taxi will be a suitable product for small-scale tourists who prefer individual autonomous tourism during the recovery period of daily life,” and added, “We hope visitors can comfortably and safely explore every corner of Gimhae.”
