This policy aims to simultaneously promote domestic travel and regional economic development. In the first half of the year, 450,000 accommodation discount coupons were distributed, generating approximately 192.4 billion KRW in travel expenditures and attracting about 1.07 million regional tourists.

This time, the accommodation discount coupons will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, one per person, starting at 10 a.m. on the 27th through online travel agency channels. Participating platforms include Socar, Jeju.com, Oneulbamen, Triptopaz, Stayfolio, Kkulstay, Allmytour.com, Stay&More, Tteonayo.com, Tripbitoz, Petel, Camoa, HanTour, MamMam, Noriui Balgyeon, Webtour, Hana Tour, Interpark, Yogi Otta, Hotelpass, Hotel Enjoy, MyRealTrip, Gmarket, KakaoTalk Booking, Yanolja, 11st, and others. Issuance will end once the prepared quantity is exhausted.

The issued discount coupons can be used for non-metropolitan accommodation products (excluding Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon) for stays from the 9th of next month to October 13th. A 30,000 KRW discount coupon is provided for reservations of products priced at 70,000 KRW or more, and a 20,000 KRW discount coupon is provided for reservations of products priced between 20,000 KRW and less than 70,000 KRW.

Applicable facilities include hotels, condos, resorts, and pensions. However, unregistered accommodations or short-term rentals are not eligible. Those who used discount coupons in the first half of the year can also participate, and additional benefits such as extra coupons from each online travel agency and card company discounts are available.

Kim Geun-ho, Director of Tourism Industry Policy at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said, "If you are planning domestic travel around the Chuseok holiday period, we recommend making good use of this opportunity," adding, "We hope people enjoy regional travel and that domestic consumption is revitalized."
