[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced that starting from the 16th, it will hold an online event called ‘Gyeongbuk, How Far Have You Tried?!’ for three months, where participants travel to local tourist attractions and introduce and verify them on their personal SNS.

The province recently planned this event with the theme of ‘healthy and safe travel’ through non-face-to-face safe tourism to promote local tourist attractions and actively attract domestic and international tourists, anticipating a significant increase in spring tourism demand following the easing of quarantine measures.

The first event is ‘Gyeongbuk, How Far Have You Walked?! ? Gyeongbuk Run Tour’.

Participants visit local tourist sites and use a walking (running) smartphone app to run more than 3 km or walk for more than 30 minutes, then introduce and verify the travel destination on their SNS account to complete participation.

Popular tourist spots such as Pohang Homibando Coastal Trail, Yeongdeok Blue Road, Sobaeksan Footpath, and Mungyeong Saejae are great, as well as quiet riverside paths.

As long as you can fully enjoy it yourself, that’s enough. The ‘Gyeongbuk Run Tour’ runs from the 16th of this month to May 17 (63 days), and once a month, popular SNS posts will be selected to award generous prizes and gifts such as smartwatches and health specialty product random boxes, fitting the healthy tour theme.

The second event is ‘Gyeongbuk, How Far Have You Sat?! ? Gyeongbuk Chair Tour’.

This is a trip perfect for zoning out while enjoying the view at scenic spots or quiet places known only to you within the province.

True to its name, the ‘Chair’ Tour allows you to bring a folding chair, or simply lay down a handkerchief or a sheet of newspaper to relax and heal comfortably.

For the Chair Tour, participation is completed by introducing a hidden Gyeongbuk attraction where you are and uploading a well-shot life photo on SNS.

Popular hot places trending on SNS are good, and so is the front mountain spring. Although your secret hideout might become a bit more famous, it will be a great opportunity to share beautiful scenery with many people.

The Gyeongbuk Chair Tour runs from the 28th of this month to May 30 (63 days), and each month, popular SNS posts will be selected to award prizes and gifts such as glamping accommodation vouchers and camping chairs.

Finally, the ‘Gyeongbuk, How Far Have You Drunk?! ? Gyeongbuk Tumbler Tour’ follows.

With the popularization of coffee, many ‘coffee tribes’ have emerged who seek out delicious coffee and charming, cozy cafes.

Bringing a tumbler, visiting cafes in the region to drink coffee (or tea), and uploading certification photos with the beautiful cafe view on SNS completes participation in this tour. Since this is an eco-friendly tour that avoids disposable products, bringing a personal ‘tumbler’ is essential.

The Gyeongbuk Tumbler Tour runs from the 11th of next month to June 13 (63 days), and participants with popular SNS posts will receive coffee-related prizes such as premium coffee machines, moka pots, and hand drip sets, while all participants will receive mobile coffee coupons.

Additionally, during the event period, the three most popular cafes will be selected as ‘favorite cafes’ and promoted.

Kim Sang-cheol, Director of the Culture, Tourism, and Sports Bureau of Gyeongsangbuk-do, said, “We hope this event will be an opportunity for more people to learn about Gyeongbuk’s tourist attractions and hidden spots through SNS,” and added, “We will continue to discover new tourism content that attracts many tourists by utilizing the abundant river, mountain, and sea tourism resources.”

To participate in the event, post travel photos on your personal SNS with the required hashtags given for each event (#GyeongbukTravel, #GyeongbukRun, etc.), then complete simple participation verification on the event website.
