SBA "Seoul SMEs, Work from Your Vacation Spot"

Support Program for Workation Targeting Small and Medium Enterprises in Seoul

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Seoul Business Agency (SBA) announced on the 19th that it is recruiting companies to participate in a 3-night, 4-day workation program for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located in Seoul.

SBA has established a workation collaboration model created through cooperation between local organizations and companies to provide new work experiences for employees of Seoul-based SMEs. Any Seoul SME can participate in a workation in Gangwon Province, Jeju Island, fishing village experience and recreation villages, or national parks during the second half of the year.

The Gangwon workation, operated in collaboration with the Gangwon Tourism Foundation, allows participants to work while enjoying views of the sea and mountains in Samcheok City and Taebaek City. Reflecting recent camping trends, glamping accommodations are also prepared in Taebaek City.

Jeju Island, the number one preferred workation destination, offers support for workation programs through collaboration with the Jeju Tourism Organization, with five accommodations and offices located in Jeju City and Seogwipo City serving as bases.

The fishing village experience and recreation village workation, operated in collaboration with the Korea Fisheries and Harbor Corporation, takes place in Jeju Hado, Incheon Ponae, Hampyeong Dolmeori, Namhae Jijok, and Pohang Changbau. Each fishing village experience and recreation village has established separate office spaces and reorganized experience programs for employees of Seoul SMEs.

The national park workation, in collaboration with the Korea National Park Service, offers daily experience programs such as trekking to enjoy autumn, meditation in cypress forests, and exploring old trails.

The Seoul Business Agency workation program is open for application on the website for SMEs located in Seoul, and recruitment is on a first-come, first-served basis by region.
