Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Government Promotes Discounts on Accommodation in Gyeongju to Celebrate 2025 APEC

Sep 01, 2025

Gyeongbuk-do Province will hold the '2025 APEC Host Memorial Gyeongju Accommodation Festa' to increase the satisfaction of domestic tourists visiting the region and contribute to revitalizing the local economy on the occasion of a global event called the 2025 APEC Summit.

The accommodation festival will last for about two months from September until the end of October, when the summit will be held, and will provide direct benefits to tourists through various promotions centered on issuing discount coupons for accommodation.

The reason why North Gyeongsang Province is promoting this accommodation promotion is the holding of an international event called the APEC Summit. APEC is a global economic consultative body involving 21 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, and the 2025 APEC Summit in Gyeongju is a stage that attracts attention not only from Korea but also from the world.




Gyeongbuk Province recognizes that now is a great opportunity to take the tourism industry to the next level as the world pays attention to Gyeongbuk with the hosting of APEC, and plans to promote tourism resources in Gyeongbuk beyond simple discount events through this accommodation Festa and further promote the influx of tourists.

The key to this promotion is the provision of discount coupons for accommodation. Coupons issued from September 1 to 14 will be available until October 26. It can be used at any accommodation registration company in Gyeongju City, and you can get an immediate discount of 30,000 won if you book accommodation products of 70,000 won or more. Due to the large discount and wide range of use, it is expected to be highly felt by actual travelers.

The issuance and reservation of coupons will be carried out through the representative online travel platform in Korea. Gyeongsangbuk-do Province will open a dedicated page for Gyeongju Accommodation Festa and increase user accessibility by preparing promotional banners and exclusive promotional pages on the platform.




North Gyeongsang Province is expected to increase the length of tourists' stay and expand consumption expenditure through accommodation discounts, leading to the revitalization of the local economy. In particular, as accommodation accounts for the largest portion of travel expenditure, the plan is to lower the price burden to induce more travelers to visit Gyeongbuk.

In fact, the impact of accommodation promotions is growing as the tourism trend has changed to 'stay-type travel' since COVID-19. Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, which has been very effective in revitalizing tourism with its accommodation discount promotion in the first half of the year, expects tourists to spread their consumption to various areas such as local food, transportation, shopping, and cultural experiences based on accommodation this time, which will have a positive ripple effect on the overall local commercial district.
