Pohang City Supports Travel Agency Incentives to Attract Group Tourists... Aiming to Become a Tourism City
Incentive Support to Attract Domestic and International Tourists to Pohang
Simplified Submission Documents and Additional Support for School Trip Groups
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City is expanding incentive support for travel agencies that attract group tourists to promote the development of the tourism industry and revitalize the local economy.
The incentives equally support domestic and foreign tourists for accommodation fees, bus rental fees, airfare, and school trips, and will be provided from February 1 until the budget is exhausted.
The support details are as follows: ▲ Accommodation fees of 20,000 KRW per person (1 night) and 30,000 KRW (2 nights) for groups of 10 or more ▲ Bus rental fees of 200,000 KRW per bus (10?20 people), 250,000 KRW (21?30 people), and 300,000 KRW (31 or more) ▲ Airfare for using Pohang Gyeongju Airport at 40% during peak season and 50% during off-season ▲ An additional incentive of 2,000 KRW per person for attracting school trip groups.
However, the number of visits to restaurants and tourist sites must meet the standards set by the city, and accommodation fees and bus rental fees cannot be supported simultaneously.
For more details, please check the announcement board on the Pohang City Hall website.
This year, the submission documents have been further simplified compared to last year by omitting the preliminary plan, encouraging travel agencies to promote tourism in Pohang, and additional incentives are provided when attracting school trip groups, enhancing the competitiveness of incentive support.
