The Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City has overhauled its app system to boost regional tourism ahead of the peak summer vacation season and prepared a major lodging discount event.
According to the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City on the 24th, the city has revamped its existing Jeonnam Tourism Platform (JN TOUR) into the Jeonnam-Gwangju Tourism Platform (JG TOUR). Alongside the revamp, it is operating the "Namdo Lodging Discount Big Event" and the "Jeonnam 1+1 Tour."
The "Namdo Lodging Discount Big Event" offers discounts of up to 120,000 won for up to three nights, depending on the payment amount, when users book and pay for lodging facilities through the Jeonnam-Gwangju Tourism Platform app. It is available to residents outside the Jeonnam-Gwangju area.
The "Jeonnam 1+1 Tour" allows two people to use a service at the price of one when users purchase eligible experience products through the Jeonnam-Gwangju Tourism Platform app. A variety of experience products have been prepared, including yacht tours, the Duryunsan cable car, and a green tea foot bath cafe. Each person can purchase up to two tickets, allowing up to four people to receive the benefit.
The "Jeonnam 1+1 Tour" runs until September 30, and may end early if the budget is exhausted.
"We prepared this event to reduce tourists' lodging cost burden and provide diverse experience opportunities for the summer vacation season," said Oh Mi-kyung, head of the tourism division at the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. "We hope it will serve as an occasion to conveniently use the tourism resources of Jeonnam-Gwangju and to stay and travel in Namdo."
