On June 19, Ongjin County, Incheon City announced that it will extend the passenger fare support period for homecoming travelers during this year's Chuseok holiday.


Originally, the passenger fare support period for this Chuseok was from the 27th of this month to the 1st of next month, but it has been extended to the 3rd of next month, including the government-designated temporary holidays and National Foundation Day, to promote tourism and stimulate the domestic economy.


During this period, homecoming travelers traveling to Yeonpyeong, Baengnyeong, Daecheong, Deokjeok, and Jawol Islands will receive support for up to 80% of the passenger fare. To receive fare support, island residents who are relatives of the homecoming travelers must apply to the township office or Ongjin County Office by the 22nd.



An official from Ongjin County said, "We revised the related ordinance in line with the government's designation of temporary holidays to expand the fare support period during this Chuseok holiday."
