[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] This summer vacation season, a special impression awaits on the East Coast of Gyeongbuk.

The Gyeongbuk Province and Gyeongbuk Culture and Tourism Corporation have partnered with the well-known domestic online accommodation booking platform ‘Yogi Otta’ to hold a special summer event titled ‘How about Yogi Otta? How about Gyeongbuk Sea?’ from August 3 to 9.

This event is designed to attract tourists intensively to the five cities and counties participating in the regional East Coast marine tourism joint brand, Oseonji (Pohang, Gyeongju, Yeongdeok, Uljin, Ulleung), to revitalize local tourism, which has been stagnant due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

‘Oseonji (oceanG)’ is a joint marine leisure tourism brand of five cities and counties in the Gyeongbuk East Sea region, combining the words ocean and Gyeongbuk. It signifies the joyful melody of Gyeongbuk’s marine leisure tourism, free and vibrant like musical notes on a staff.

Additionally, various travel information such as surfer beaches, lighthouses, and yachts will be prepared to provide convenience to users.

The discount applies not only to famous hotels on the East Coast such as in Pohang but also to all accommodations registered on the ‘Yogi Otta’ platform, including pensions and resorts.

Moreover, various marine leisure activities such as yachting, surfing, cruises, and aquariums can be enjoyed at discounted prices.

Along with this, there are many local attractions (hot places) that can be enjoyed for free.
