Recruitment of Companies and Workers Participating in the Worker Vacation Support Program

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 2nd that they are recruiting companies and workers to participate in the worker vacation support project. This project supports domestic travel expenses for workers and aims to revitalize domestic travel. When a worker saves 200,000 won, their affiliated company and the government each add 100,000 won, providing a total of 400,000 won to support domestic travel expenses. Eligible participants include workers from small and medium-sized enterprises, mid-sized companies, small business owners, non-profit private organizations, and social welfare corporations and facilities. Support is provided on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism explained, "We plan to support vacation expenses for about 90,000 workers this year." They added, "In addition to issuing participation certificates to companies involved in the project, we plan to grant extra points when applying for various government certifications such as Family-Friendly Certification (Ministry of Gender Equality and Family), Leisure-Friendly Certification (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), and Work Innovation Incentive System (Ministry of Employment and Labor)."
