[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyungpil] Jeonnam Wando-gun announced on the 25th that it will conduct the ‘Namdo Accommodation Discount Big Event’ for individual tourists from outside Gwangju and Jeonnam.

This event, held to celebrate the ‘2022-2023 Jeollanam-do Visit Year,’ offers a partial discount on accommodation fees when visitors submit an accommodation fee event application form to the county and use designated accommodations by December 30.

The designated accommodations can be checked through the Wando-gun Office website＞County Administration Information＞Administrative Information＞Public Notices (No. 838).

If the accommodation fee is 100,000 KRW or more, a discount of 40,000 KRW is applied; for 70,000 KRW or more, 30,000 KRW; and for less than 70,000 KRW, 20,000 KRW. However, the event will end early once the budget is exhausted.

The discount benefit is limited to one time and excludes events not purely for tourism purposes such as those hosted by political, religious, or administrative institutions, group tours led by travel agencies, minors under 18 years old, and short-term room rentals.

To apply for the accommodation fee discount, select one of the accommodations designated by Wando-gun, make a reservation with the accommodation first, then submit the application documents (application form, resident registration abstract) to the county tourism department.

Tourists who receive the selection notification should bring their ID, pay the final amount after deducting the discount from the posted price, then submit the receipt to the accommodation and use the service.

The accommodation will submit the invoice to the county after the discount, and the county will review the supporting documents and pay the invoiced amount within 14 days.

For more details, refer to Public Notice (No. 838) or contact the tourism department.

A county official said, “We hope this accommodation discount event will activate the influx of external tourists,” and added, “We will strive to provide services so that tourists do not experience inconvenience when using designated accommodations.”
