The Worker Vacation Support Project is a policy where companies and the government support workers' domestic travel expenses to improve the free vacation culture in companies and revitalize domestic travel. When a worker pays 200,000 KRW, the company supports 100,000 KRW and the government supports 100,000 KRW for domestic travel expenses, allowing the worker to freely use 400,000 KRW in credits on the Vacation Shop online mall.


In particular, this year, the Korea Tourism Organization expanded the total number of participants to 120,000 to revitalize the local economy and recruited additional participating companies. The scope of participation, which was limited to workers of small and medium-sized enterprises, small business owners, non-profit private organizations, and social welfare corporations/facilities, has been expanded to include mid-sized companies, significantly increasing the number of users.


The province expects that more than 100,000 workers will use the Vacation Support Project to travel domestically, and aims to attract tourists through active promotion, ultimately hoping to revitalize local tourism.


This discount promotion will continue until the budget is exhausted. For more details, please contact the Jeonbuk Culture and Tourism Foundation.



Lee Jin-gwan, Director of the Tourism Industry Division, said, "As part of actively attracting tourists, we have prepared a supplementary budget for the first time this year to promote the project," adding, "If there are positive results, we will reflect this in the establishment of the main budget for next year and expand the project so that more workers visit Jeonbuk."
