Support for Employment Incentives to Traditional Tourism Companies in Incheon... Up to 3.6 Million KRW Per Person

Incheon Tourism Organization announced on the 3rd that it will provide wage subsidies to activate employment in small and medium-sized traditional tourism companies in the Incheon area.

The support targets small and medium-sized tourism companies in Incheon registered or reported under the Tourism Promotion Act in seven designated industries and equivalent businesses. Approximately 18 companies will be selected to receive employment incentives. The subsidy is up to 3.6 million KRW per hired employee, providing 1.2 million KRW per month for up to three months if the employee is maintained as a full-time worker for more than three months.

This project was initiated to alleviate the wage burden on tourism companies and respond to the recovery of summer travel demand amid ongoing labor shortages in the industry despite the tourism market recovery after COVID-19.

Tourism companies wishing to apply for the employment incentive must hire full-time employees after October 1 and maintain their employment for more than three months. Each company can apply for up to two employees. Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Incheon Tourism Enterprise Support Center website, completing it, and sending it via email by October 31. Final results will be notified individually.

An official from Incheon Tourism Organization stated, "We hope this employment support project will ease the recruitment burden of local traditional tourism companies and help stabilize their business operations."
