The Korea Tourism Organization and the National Gwangju Science Museum announced on the 16th that they have jointly launched a healing travel product called 'Starlight Moonlight Travel' to find summer constellations, in cooperation with Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, along with explanations from astronomy researchers.

Yangsan Beach on Jaeun Island, Sinan, Jeollanam-do, is considered one of the best places in Korea to see stars clearly.

The travel program includes a pre-education session about constellations at the planetarium of the science museum on the first day, followed by a trip to Jaeun Island in Sinan to observe the night sky constellations with expert commentary. On the second day, after enjoying rest at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Sinan in the morning, participants visit Purple Island, Sinan’s representative tourist destination, which was selected as the 2021 UNWTO Best Tourism Village.

The product is a weekend 1-night 2-day itinerary, held three times on August 26, September 2, and September 23.

Reservations can be made on the National Gwangju Science Museum website. To commemorate the launch, the organization will provide all tour participants with a set of three magnets, a purple umbrella that grants free admission to Sinan Purple Island, and eco-friendly travel items.

Kim Wansu, the head of the Gwangju Jeonnam branch, said, "We prepared this product not just to admire the stars, but to offer a high-quality star observation experience that will be remembered for a lifetime through expert explanations and observation equipment at the science museum." He added, "Next year, we plan to introduce various themed products combining the clean nature and science of Jeonnam in collaboration with the science museum."

Meanwhile, the Ramada Plaza Hotel and 1004 Museum Park on Jaeun Island, Sinan, are discount targets for the digital tourism resident card project promoted by the organization as part of regional tourism revitalization. By accessing the Korea Tourism Organization’s Korea Travel Online website or app and issuing a Sinan-gun digital tourism resident card, visitors can receive up to a 30% discount on fees.
