Through this call, the organization will select 10 travel products. Applicants can choose one of the 10 regions where the Tourist Resident Card is operated, and products connecting 2 to 3 regions for day trips or longer are also acceptable. The application period is from today until the 19th of next month.

The call is open to companies registered under the General Travel Business or Domestic Travel Business according to the Tourism Promotion Act. The organization will provide up to 10 million KRW in operating expenses for the selected products. In addition to the Korea Travel Easy app and website, product promotion will be conducted using private channels such as Naver and Kakao.

Detailed information about the call can be found on the Korea Tourism Industry Portal 'Touraz' website.
