In mid-October, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced a varied offer of tourist content in collaboration with the Korea Tourism Organization, as part of the campaign “Discover every corner of Korea in autumn”.
The campaign includes discounts of 30 percent in about 70 regional tourism programs, organized in 11 different themes. Among them stand out: Cultural Holidays, which highlights the distinctive culture of each region, Local Festivals, which promotes the typical provincial festivals of autumn; Local History, which invites visitors to explore the rich history of each place and Detoxification Journey, which offers an ideal getaway to disconnect from the urban hustle and and fully enjoy autumn.
In this context, of course, Jeju Island stands out – one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in the world, a unique place that offers an unmissable natural setting for those who visit it.
In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, together with the Korean Rural Communities Corporation, has launched a promotion of up to 50 percent off visits to rural villages.
On the other hand, the one-day train tour “Here in autumn” will take about 2,000 tourists to 24 small towns spread across the country. On each trip, participants will visit three different regions, discovering their attractions, local specialties, as well as their culture and traditional markets.
The program “Travel companion with Yeo Jin-goo” will feature the participation of the actor, who will accompany travelers on a tour of Gapyeong-gun county, in Gyeonggi-do province.
