Gwangju — Reporter Kim Dae-woo
Gwangju City announced on the 19th that it will launch a theme-based specialty travel product development program to support travel businesses hit by the long-term closure of Muan International Airport.
The city will accept applications from Gwangju-based travel agencies that were registered before the airliner crash on Dec. 29, 2024, and are still in operation. Agencies can apply through May 8. Gwangju will select 220 agencies and provide each up to ₩2,000,000 (about $1,500) to plan new travel products.
Agencies with strong sales performance may receive additional post-development funding for promotion and marketing, up to ₩3,000,000 (about $2,250).
Through this program, Gwangju aims to identify and back travel products across themes like food, history, humanities, arts, night tourism, wellness, and festivals — and to grow distinctive tourism content into longer-stay experiences.
