Travel agencies registered as comprehensive travel agencies located in Seoul can apply online, and the final 22 tourism products will be selected through the first evaluation of business plans and the second presentation (PT) screening. The selected travel agencies will be supported with up to 20 million KRW per company for online and offline promotional marketing costs such as digital transformation to revitalize the travel industry.


Additionally, expert consulting reflecting industry demand will be provided to enhance tourism products and maximize customer attraction effects.
