Holding a Book Talk Concert Together

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 22nd that it will operate the 'City Tour Modu Travel & Book Talk Concert' on the 29th to promote 'barrier-free tourism.' 'Barrier-free tourism' refers to tourism that allows people with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women, and tourists accompanied by infants and young children to travel without inconvenience or restrictions on their activities.

During this City Tour Modu Travel, participants will visit an experience farm located in Songsan-myeon using a lift bus to try out specialized programs. Since the second half of last year, Hwaseong City has been operating the 'Modu Travel' program every month for vulnerable tourism groups such as people with disabilities. A total of 203 people participated in this year's Modu Travel, which was held 12 times from March to October.

At the accompanying Book Talk Concert, author Jeon Yoon-seon, who published '39 Beautiful Barrier-Free Travel Destinations in Korea,' will share with participants her experiences visiting Hwaseong City and other excellent barrier-free travel destinations nationwide while using a wheelchair.

Those wishing to participate must make a reservation in advance with the Hwaseong Disabled People’s Rights Center by the 27th and pay a nominal participation fee.

Jung Myung-geun, mayor of Hwaseong City, stated, "We hope many citizens interested in barrier-free tourism will show great interest and participate."
