A collaborative ecosystem among tourism businesses in Daejeon and Sejong is being built.
The Daejeon Tourism Organization announced Thursday that it will host the "2026 Daejeon·Sejong Tourism Business Networking Day" from May to November to secure competitiveness in the regional tourism industry and foster a collaborative ecosystem among local tourism firms.
This year's Networking Day will open on May 20 at the Hangeul Store in Sejong under the theme "Designing the Local," and will run five times through November.
The program will serve as a platform for strengthening ties among companies, including sharing best practices of regional co-prosperity models, collaborative business workshops, exchanges with tourism firms from other regions such as Gwangju and Gyeongnam, and performance-sharing sessions for companies participating in the center's public offering projects.
In particular, to ensure that ideas discovered during the networking process are actually implemented as businesses, the organization will build promising collaboration models and provide two rounds of professional collaboration consulting for tourism firms seeking to pursue joint projects.
"Sustainable growth of the tourism industry requires close cooperation among regional players beyond the competitiveness of individual companies," said Kim Yong-won, president of the Daejeon Tourism Organization.
