[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] As demand for preparing summer vacations increases, attention is focusing on the 'Worker Vacation Support Project.'

On the 30th, the Korea Tourism Organization announced that the number of participants in the Worker Vacation Support Project has reached 80,000 as of this date.

The project, which started accepting applications from participating companies in March last year with a goal of 100,000 participants this year, has been implemented since 2018 by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization to improve corporate vacation culture and enhance workers' quality of life.

The Organization plans to actively attract applications from small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners who have not yet participated in the project through various promotions.

In particular, this year’s project will hold various promotional events starting in June, including luxury hotel stays with Hotel Lotte, a camping festival for the whole family, and early bird vacation deals ahead of the summer holidays. Discounts of up to 50% and up to 100,000 KRW are available.

A word-of-mouth event has also been prepared. During the month of June, those who post promotional articles about recruiting participants for the Worker Vacation Support Project on their Instagram or blog, or upload participation reviews and submit the URL, will be entered into a draw to receive coffee coupons for 300 people.

Park Insik, head of the Tourism Welfare Center at the Korea Tourism Organization, said, “We hope that with many companies participating, various travel desires of employees will be satisfied and regional economic revitalization will also be achieved.”
