PM 9 Fine Dust Level 'Good' - 15% Discount on Admission Fee for the Day

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 30th that from January 1 to March 31, if the fine dust concentration at 9 a.m. is classified as "Good (15㎍/㎥ or below)," the admission fee to the N Seoul Tower observatory on the same day will be discounted by 15%, in collaboration with CJ Foodville, the operator of N Tower.

This event was prepared in cooperation with N Seoul Tower, a landmark of Seoul, to raise citizens' awareness of air quality improvement.

The number of days with "Good (15㎍/㎥ or below)" fine dust levels in Seoul was 111 days in 2019, 143 days in 2020, 172 days in 2021, and 182 days this year, showing a continuous increase of nearly 1.6 times compared to 2019 (111 days → 182 days).

If the fine dust concentration in Seoul at 9 a.m. is "Good (15㎍/㎥ or below)," the on-site admission fee to the observatory on the same day will be discounted by 15%, allowing adults to enter for 16,000 KRW → 13,600 KRW, and children for 12,000 KRW → 10,200 KRW.

Citizens wishing to participate can apply for air quality information (forecast and alert) text message services on the Seoul air environment information website, then present the application screen on-site or take a photo with promotional materials such as the N Tower on-site signboard as a background, and verify the photo by posting it on their personal social networking service (SNS).

Additionally, existing subscribers to Seoul's air quality information (forecast and alert) text message service can receive the discount by presenting the forecast message received daily at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m., or the message received during (ultra)fine dust advisories or alerts, to the ticketing staff on-site.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government and CJ Foodville plan to continue holding events linked to N Seoul Tower admission fee discounts during the "Fine Dust Seasonal Management" period (December to March, four months).

Meanwhile, Seoul and N Seoul Tower currently display lighting colors symbolizing the current air quality by expressing the N Seoul Tower lights in "blue, green, yellow, red" according to the fine dust concentration levels from "Good" to "Very Bad" on the same day.

Kim Deokhwan, head of the Seoul Air Policy Division, stated, "Thanks to Seoul's continuous efforts through seasonal management and other measures, fine dust concentrations are improving," and added, "We hope many citizens will enjoy the clear Seoul sky and scenery from Namsan N Seoul Tower."
