Changwon City has announced that June will be designated as 'Travel Month,' during which various events and discounts will be provided for citizens and tourists.
First, visitors can enjoy discounted rates on the ‘Changwon City Tour Bus’ and the ‘Jinhae Jehwangsan Park Monorail.’
The ‘Changwon City Tour Bus’ is a double-decker bus that circulates ten major tourist attractions in Changwon. The open-top design of the second floor makes it a favorite among children. During ‘Travel Month,’ tickets will be discounted by 1,000 KRW, and route information can be found on the Changwon City Tour Bus website.
The ‘Jinhae Jehwangsan Park Monorail,’ located in Jehwangsan Park, offers panoramic views of Jinhae. It is a popular attraction, especially during the cherry blossom season, making it difficult to use due to the crowds. However, this June, as part of ‘Travel Month,’ children under 12 accompanied by an adult can ride for free.
Additionally, various events will be held to promote the attractions of Changwon. On May 25, there will be a ‘Small Concert’ at Jinhae Gyeonghwa Station, accompanied by face painting, balloon art by clowns, CPR training, and other side events. The first 250 attendees will receive gifts or city tour bus tickets by leaving supportive comments on the promotional video for Gyeonghwa Station.
Starting in June, the ‘Changwon City Mobile Stamp Tour’ will also be launched. This program rewards tourists who visit at least three of the 15 major tourist spots in Changwon with souvenirs through a lottery. Although Changwon citizens are typically excluded from participating due to election laws, everyone, including Changwon citizens, can join during ‘Travel Month.’
Ho Yong-in, Director of Changwon City’s Tourism Department, said, "We hope that the ‘Travel Month’ event will serve as an opportunity for many people to discover the beauty and charm of Changwon," adding, "We will continue to plan various programs to promote the tourism industry."
