Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Gifts 'Hangul Name' Transportation Cards to Foreign Visitors to Korea

"I Want to Add More Joy to Visiting Korea"

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will gift 'Hangul names' to foreign tourists visiting Korea at the lobby of the Transportation Center on the B1 floor of Incheon International Airport on the 23rd and 24th. They will provide 500 Locomobility transportation cards worth 5,000 won each, printed with pure Korean names, free of charge. This promotion is organized to commemorate the '2023~2024 Visit Korea Year' and to promote '2023 Hangul Week (October 4?10)'. Visitors who answer a survey about 'K-tourism preferences' at a dedicated unmanned kiosk will receive the cards on a first-come, first-served basis. The transportation card packaging contains information about domestic travel destinations such as Cheongwadae, Hiker Ground, and Vivid Space. Kang Jeongwon, spokesperson for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said, "We wanted to add to the joy of visiting Korea by combining Hangul, which has gained popularity through Hallyu, with transportation cards that will be useful during K-tourism." He added, "We plan to continue expanding public-private cooperation going forward."
