The "Gangjin Visitor 100 Million Jackpot Event" is a groundbreaking event conducted by Gangjin-gun to regain its reputation as a tourist city by reestablishing itself as the number one destination for Namdo exploration.
Until the end of the year, every time the cumulative number of tourists increases by 100,000, the prize money will increase by 1 million won, starting with 1 million won at 100,000 visitors, 2 million won at 200,000 visitors, and so on. Once the number of tourists exceeds 1 million, a total of 100 million won will be awarded to 10 tourists, including 55 million won worth of prize money and Gangjin Love gift certificates.
On the 5th, Gangjin-gun held a proclamation ceremony titled "Invitation to A, Again Namdo Exploration No.1 Gangjin" at a special stage on Yeongnang-ro in Gangjin-eup and conducted a public lottery for reaching 100,000 tourists, resulting in the first prize winner of 1 million won.

Gangjin County Governor Gang Jin-won stated, "The 100 million won invested in this event is essential seed money to attract 5 million tourists and revitalize the local economy. With the determination of Gangjin residents who successfully led the Year of Visiting Gangjin in 2017 and the Invitation to A in 2018, we will once again create a tourism boom, restore the reputation of Namdo Exploration No.1, and build a new Gangjin with increasing jobs and population."
