'Stars of Korean Tourism' is an award system that selects and honors tourism resources, organizations, or individuals who have contributed to the development of Korean tourism over the past year. It was launched in 2010 to raise public interest in domestic tourism. This year marks the 13th edition.

This year, eight stars will be selected across six categories, considering factors such as the attractiveness of tourism resources and contributions to domestic tourism development. The public participation event will accept nominations in five categories: ▲Tourist Attractions ▲Sustainable Tourism Programs ▲Tourism Organizations/Businesses of the Year ▲Broadcast Media ▲Contributors to Tourism Development.

The nomination period runs from the 26th until August 8. Anyone in the public can participate in the event. By visiting the event page on the 'Korea Tourism' website, participants can submit the nominee's name and reasons for nomination. Approximately 230 prizes, including portable screens worth about 1 million KRW, will be awarded through a lottery.

The final selection results will be announced in December after a professional evaluation panel reviews nominees recommended by the public, local governments, and experts.

Oh Yuna, head of the Public Tourism Marketing Team at the Korea Tourism Organization, said, "One of the newly discovered tourist attractions through last year's nomination event was 'Cheorwon Hantan River Mulwitgil & Jusangjeolli-gil,' which was ultimately selected as a Star of Korean Tourism. We ask for the public's active interest and participation so that we can widely promote tourism resources that have brought inspiration and joy to the public, as well as institutions, companies, and individuals who have enhanced the brand value of Korean tourism."
