The designation of ‘Ulsan Jeonnam Tourism Exchange Month’ follows the ‘Joint Agreement for Win-Win Development’ signed at the Ulsan-Jeonnam Win-Win Development Agreement Ceremony held on February 22. Both regions plan to actively promote joint marketing for tourism revitalization until October.

In August, fam tour groups of 25 people each from tourism associations, travel agencies, and media outlets will be formed in both regions to conduct two rounds of mutual exchange fam tours focusing on major tourist attractions in Ulsan City and Jeollanam-do.

First, Ulsan City will conduct a fam tour from the 17th to the 18th, visiting places such as Juknokwon, Naju Eupseong, Mokpo Modern History Museum, and the Suncheonman International Garden Expo.

Following that, Jeonnam Province plans to visit major tourist sites in Ulsan City, including Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Village, Ulsan Bridge Observatory, Daewangam Park, and Taehwagang National Garden, from the 24th to the 25th.

The fam tour groups will engage in activities to develop new tourism products and hold discussions on tourism cooperation projects and ways to boost tourist attraction between the two regions.

During September, the ‘Ulsan Jeonnam Tourism Exchange Month,’ special incentives will be provided to group tourists traveling from Jeollanam-do to Ulsan.

The incentives include △up to 90,000 KRW for accommodation fees for group tourists of five or more △up to 400,000 KRW for same-day tour bus fees for groups of 12 or more △and 2 million KRW for promotional expenses for Ulsan↔Jeonnam tourism products that include at least one overnight stay in Ulsan.

Additionally, from October 5 to 8, the two regions will participate in the 24th Busan International Tourism Expo held at BEXCO in Busan, operating the ‘Ulsan Jeonnam Joint Promotion Booth.’
