BPA Hosts Camping Event Inviting Local Residents at Busan Port Campground

Busan Port Authority (BPA) held a camping event on the 3rd at the Busan Port Healing Camping Site, inviting about 50 participants including local seniors and children who use community welfare centers equipped with BPA Hope Pantries, as well as Hope Pantry managers.

The event was conducted to promote BPA Hope Pantry, revitalize traditional markets, and encourage seafood consumption. Participants purchased domestic seafood such as mackerel, squid, and shrimp, along with various ingredients, at Dong-gu Sujeong Traditional Market.

They then moved to the Healing Camping Site, where they received explanations about BPA’s representative social contribution project, ‘BPA Hope Pantry,’ and education on camping etiquette before starting the camping activities.

Participants enjoyed barbecued fish and “My Style Skewers,” made by skewering shrimp, vegetables, and other ingredients purchased at the traditional market according to their preferences, while playing with soap bubbles and taking photos against the backdrop of the open sea.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “This meaningful event provided camping experience opportunities to Hope Pantry users while also contributing to seafood consumption and revitalization of traditional markets. We will continue to strive to create various experience opportunities for neighbors in need near the port area.”

Busan Port Authority has identified ‘Creating Wealth Together’ as a key strategy among its three major social contribution strategies to revitalize the local economy, continuing support for traditional markets and small business owners.
