The Korea Tourism Organization (President Park Sung-hyuk, hereafter KTO) is holding a public participation event titled "Let's Take Off on an Autumn Trip with Chunsik!" in collaboration with Kakao until November 22. This event is designed to encourage domestic travel and vitalize regional tourism in connection with the "Travel Month" campaign.

The "Travel Month" campaign is an initiative by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the KTO to encourage domestic travel and stimulate the regional economy by offering various benefits, such as discounts on transportation, accommodation, and travel products. This year, over 230 public and private organizations and companies are participating from October for two months to provide diverse travel benefits.

The event participation method is as follows: Visitors can choose one of the 33 autumn recommended travel destinations selected by the KTO, locate the standing sign of Kakao Friends' character "Chunsik" installed at the site, and scan the QR code. Next, visitors authenticate their visit using a KakaoTalk Talk Digital Card*, and share the event with friends via KakaoTalk at least three times to complete their entry.

He added, "As we have prepared various discount benefits for transportation, accommodation, and travel products alongside this event, we hope people will discover new charms while traveling across various parts of Korea this autumn and bring vitality to the regions."
