Busan City and the Busan Tourism Organization are unveiling the ‘2030 Expo Busan Travel Course Visited by the Inspection Team,’ based on Busan’s attractions showcased to the 2030 Busan World Expo inspection team.

This travel course is a 2-day, 1-night itinerary exploring various Busan landmarks centered around the places actually visited by the International Bureau of Expositions inspection team who visited Busan last April. Day 1 is the ‘Green Life Practice Course,’ and Day 2 is the ‘Sharing Memory Course.’

'Green Life Practice Course'.

The ‘Green Life Practice Course’ is an eco-friendly travel itinerary centered on Eulsukdo, which demonstrates Busan’s long-standing efforts toward coexistence between nature and humans.

On Day 1, the ‘Green Life Practice Course’ allows visitors to experience the excitement of the Expo in advance at the Bukhang Waterfront Park, the planned site for the 2030 Busan World Expo, and enjoy a unique eco-friendly ecological tour that blends city, mountains, rivers, and sea, including ▲Busan Station ▲Busan Port Bukhang Waterfront Park (Expo site) ▲Gangseo Sinhogongwon Park ▲Eulsukdo ▲Dadaepo ▲Songdo Beach. At Gangseo Sinhogongwon Park, visitors can also enjoy a mudflat experience rarely found in urban areas.

'Sharing Memory Course'.

Day 2’s ‘Sharing Memory Course’ is a journey that reflects on the meaning of world peace through the Expo, visiting the UN Memorial Cemetery, the world’s only United Nations memorial park where soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the Korean War rest. The course includes ▲Songdo Beach ▲Busan Harbor Bridge ▲UN Memorial Cemetery ▲Gwangandaegyo Bridge ▲Busan Cinema Center ▲Gwangalli Beach, allowing visitors to enjoy Gwangalli, a place filled with sea-view restaurants, cafes, and unique spaces, with the iconic Gwangandaegyo Bridge as a backdrop and the site of the Busan International Film Festival, a global festival for filmmakers.

Following this travel course, visitors can also encounter the Seven Bridges (Seven Bridge) connecting the seven-colored seas of Busan, crossing between West and East Busan. At the final destinations of each course, visitors can enjoy the Songdo Marine Cable Car, Gwangandaegyo Bridge, and colorful Busan night views adorned by weekend drone shows and other attractions.

To increase public interest and expand eco-friendly tourism, the city and the organization will also hold two events titled ‘Carbon Off (OFF), Expo On (ON)’ from the 18th until June 18.

Participants in events such as the ‘Eco-friendly Travel Certification Event’ and the ‘Spot the Difference Event’ will have a chance to win various prizes through a lottery, including Shinsegae gift certificates (10 winners), Busan City Tour Bus tickets (20 winners), and Starbucks coupons (100 winners).

A city official stated, “The ‘2030 Expo Busan Travel Course’ visited by the inspection team is composed of various attractions that showcase Busan’s beautiful natural scenery and its charm as a city of peace and sharing. We will do our best to keep the momentum for hosting the 2030 World Expo in Busan through this travel experience.”
