The event invites participants to visit festivals designated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held in May and June, collect certification stamps available at the festival sites, and upload them to the integrated festival promotion page. Through a draw, a total of 5,000 people will receive various prizes such as accommodation vouchers and gift certificates.

Earlier, from June last year to April this year, the Korea Tourism Organization completely revamped the integrated festival promotion page, which manages information on over 1,100 festivals nationwide. Through this renewal, the organization expanded the provision of videos and images to allow users to see festival-specific information and themes at a glance. They also made great efforts to update information accurately and quickly in collaboration with local government festival industry officials. The integrated festival promotion page on Korea Tourism Organization’s “Korea Travel Easy” platform attracts up to 24.6 million page views annually, demonstrating its popularity.

Park Daeyoung, head of the Regional Tourism Content Team at the Korea Tourism Organization, said, “Local festivals are the most convenient opportunity to experience representative travel themes such as regional culture and specialties. We hope this festival visit event will encourage many travelers to visit festival sites.” He added, “Furthermore, by utilizing the renewed festival promotion page, we plan to jointly promote various projects with local governments to revitalize regional festivals.”

Details of the event can be found on the integrated festival promotion page within the Korea Travel Easy platform.
