[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Jeonbuk Province is holding a travel essay contest for the entire nation and local government officials under the theme "Our Jeonbuk Travel Story, the Place We Want to Visit."
According to Jeonbuk Province on the 8th, the contest aims to discover hidden tourist attractions in Jeonbuk, actively promote their charm, stories, and travel information, and to encourage the special travel week from the 1st to the 19th as well as the 2.5-day weekend leave system (early leave on Friday and Saturday-Sunday) activation.
The contest categories involve discovering lesser-known tourist spots within Jeonbuk’s 14 cities and counties, and naturally introducing impressions from visiting these spots for more than one night and two days with family, lovers, friends, or alone, including special stories and programs related to the attractions.
