Incheon City Forms Dedicated TF to Support Jamboree Delegation... Providing Tourism and Cultural Experiences

Incheon City has formed a dedicated task force (TF) to support the scout delegations from various countries who are leaving early from the '2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree' and arriving in Incheon.

On the 7th, Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok held an emergency meeting to devise support measures for tourism and cultural experiences for the jamboree participants and decided to establish the TF.

Amid the ongoing heatwave causing some participating countries to decide on early withdrawal from the event, 1,060 members of the British delegation who left early from the Saemangeum campsite the previous day have arrived in Incheon and are staying at hotels on Yeongjongdo Island and other locations. Additionally, participants from Mexico, Belgium, Iceland, Ireland, the Czech Republic, and Indonesia are also scheduled to visit Incheon sequentially.

Considering the schedule of the international jamboree event, Incheon City has agreed, after thorough prior consultations with the Jamboree Organizing Committee, to offer various travel courses in Incheon to each participating country upon request.

The city plans to support cultural experiences, outdoor activities, and city tours with themes of culture, history, peace, healing, and inspiration, in collaboration with the Incheon Tourism Organization. In particular, for teams with flexible schedules, 1-night 2-day and 3-night 4-day courses will be prepared.

Mayor Yoo said, "We will provide maximum support for accommodation as well as opportunities for tourism and cultural experiences so that the jamboree participants visiting Incheon can have a fulfilling time."
