A tourist taxi service that allows pets on board will operate for travel in Ulsan.

Ulsan City and the Ulsan Culture and Tourism Foundation announced on the 31st that they will operate the "Pet-Friendly Ulsan Tourist Taxi" from October to mid-December.

An orientation session will be held at 10 a.m. on the same day at the Ulsan Exhibition & Convention Center (UECO) for the Ulsan tourist taxi drivers.

About 10 Ulsan tourist taxi drivers will attend this orientation. The session will cover precautions when traveling with pets, in-vehicle cleaning instructions after boarding, explanations about subsidies and support items related to pet-friendly rides, and gathering opinions from the drivers.

Passengers eligible for this service are domestic and international tourists excluding Ulsan residents, and pets must be registered and transported in a carrier.

Reservations for passengers can be made starting September 1 through the Ulsan Culture and Tourism Foundation website or by phone.

For more details, please refer to the Ulsan Tourism website or the Ulsan Culture and Tourism Foundation website, or contact the Ulsan Culture and Tourism Foundation by phone.

An official from Ulsan City said, "This will be a great opportunity to reduce the travel burden for visitors and make it easier and more convenient to travel around Ulsan," adding, "We will promote and link this service with major tourist attractions to make Ulsan known as a pet-friendly tourist destination."

Ulsan City and the Ulsan Culture and Tourism Foundation were selected as a "Pet-Friendly Tourism City" in April this year and plan to officially welcome pet-friendly travelers starting in October.
