This autumn, the Korea Tourism Organization is launching a set of special local travel packages designed to showcase the rich charms found in every corner of the country.

On September 22, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) announced the debut of special travel products reflecting the latest trends in tourism, as part of the nationwide domestic tourism revitalization campaign titled "Travel in Autumn."

The newly offered packages are organized into six distinct themes: healing, leisure sports, arts, regional festivals, localism, and gastronomy.

Travelers can look forward to 19 unique products including a temple stay and wine foot bath at Mankyeongsan Temple in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province (healing); adventure at Seongnyu Cave and a yacht tour in Uljin, along with a waterfall trekking course at Naeyeonsan in Pohang (leisure sports); an art museum tour in Gyeongju (arts); a ramen festival in Gumi (regional festivals); green tea excursions in Hadong and Sancheong as well as a local trip to Daejeon (localism); and a gourmet tour in Haenam, South Jeolla Province, plus a fermented paste culinary tour in Sunchang, North Jeolla Province (gastronomy). All of these packages offer opportunities to experience the unique local attractions of Korea. During the "Travel in Autumn" campaign, reservations can be made at discounts of up to 49%.

A highlight of this campaign is the special "Locallofalltrip" by train, offering a unique way to explore Korea in autumn.

Designed as all-inclusive day trips covering transportation, meals, and activities, the tours depart from Seoul and Busan, allowing participants to enjoy Korea’s stunning autumn landscapes. The campaign will feature three departures in total: The first run on September 26 has already reached capacity, but applications for the second (October 22) and third (October 27) tours will be open from October 1 to 13.

Any Korean national may apply, with participants selected entirely at random. Each person can apply once (including up to three companions, making a maximum group of four), and infants under 36 months of age may join free of charge. Further details on the special local travel packages and the "Locallofalltrip" by train can be found on the official "Travel in Autumn" campaign website.

Huh Soyoung, Team Leader for Public Tourism Marketing at the Korea Tourism Organization, commented, “We have prepared unique travel experiences that reflect the character of each region so that many people can discover every corner of our country during this beautiful autumn season. We hope everyone delights in the spirit of autumn and shares warm energy with our local communities.”
