Revitalizing the Local Economy
and Promoting Beautiful Tourist Attractions
Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Heesu) announced on the 24th that it will officially implement a program to provide incentives to travel agencies that attract group tourists, in order to revitalize the local economy and tourism industry.
The support is available to travel agencies that bring in domestic and international group tourists or school excursion groups, provided they meet the requirements of using local accommodations and visiting tourist attractions. The maximum incentive is 25,000 KRW per person, and an additional 5,000 KRW is provided if the group visits the Bobaeseom Canola Flower Festival.
The requirements for support are as follows: at least 10 domestic tourists, at least 5 international tourists, or at least 30 students in a school excursion group. The amount of support varies depending on the number of visits to local tourist attractions and the length of stay.
An official from the county said, "Through this incentive support program, travel agencies struggling with management difficulties due to the economic downturn will be able to overcome their hardships, and it will be a great opportunity to promote Jindo-gun's tourist attractions." He added, "We will do our best to develop unique tourism products so that many tourists can visit."
