This meeting was organized to strengthen strategies for attracting domestic tourists mainly from the metropolitan area in line with the 2025 APEC Summit and the ‘Year of Visit Gyeongbuk,’ and to further enhance Gyeongbuk’s tourism competitiveness.

In January, Gyeongbuk Province selected 10 travel agencies with strong capabilities in attracting domestic tourists as dedicated travel agencies through a public contest, and plans to work with them over the next two years to develop customized tourism products and promote marketing.

These travel agencies were selected based on evaluation criteria such as their influence in attracting domestic tourists and the development of differentiated tourism products unique to Gyeongbuk, and will receive incentives including bus rental fees and experience costs.

At the meeting, designation certificates and plaques were awarded to the dedicated travel agencies, and opinions were shared regarding incentive support for the agencies, along with strategic discussions for revitalizing tourism in Gyeongbuk.

Kim Byung-gon, Director of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, stated, “Through cooperation with the dedicated travel agencies, we will actively expand the attraction of metropolitan tourists, and take every effort to establish Gyeongbuk as a representative tourist destination of South Korea, leveraging the 2025 APEC Summit and the ‘Year of Visit Gyeongbuk.’”

The designated domestic dedicated travel agencies are Dongbaek Travel Agency, Theme Camp Travel Agency, Good Morning Travel Agency, Hongik Travel Agency, Travel Workshop, Haemil Travel Agency, Korea Dream Tourism, Areum Travel Agency, Romance Tour, and People Who Give Happiness, totaling 10 agencies.
