Reduced Stay Costs with 100,000 Won Per Night Lodging Subsidy
and Car-Sharing Benefits

On July 9, Wando County in South Jeolla Province announced that it will officially launch the "Wando-style Workation," keeping pace with the emerging trend of a new work culture that combines work and vacation.


This initiative was launched after being selected in the "Jeonnam Blue Workation" competition, which was hosted by South Jeolla Province last April. Wando County has infused the product with its unique appeal, including its pristine sea and outstanding natural environment, which the region takes great pride in.

Recruitment for participants is currently underway. Eligible applicants include employees of companies, freelancers, and individual entrepreneurs based outside South Jeolla Province. Those interested can apply through the "Jeonnam Workation" website, selecting from programs of either 2 nights and 3 days or 3 nights and 4 days. Participation fees and support benefits vary depending on the package.


To ease the financial burden of long-term stays, Wando County has prepared exceptional support benefits. These include a lodging subsidy of 100,000 won per night, access to a dedicated office space, and support for transportation through the car-sharing service "SOCAR." In addition, participants receive discounts on admission to the Wando Marine Healing Center and a Workation Pass.


The "Workation Pass" is an electronic coupon that allows participants to use designated cafes or experience facilities a total of four times (10,000 won per visit) via an application. All of these benefits are included in the participation fee, so participants can conveniently enjoy the services without any additional charges on-site.


During the day, participants can focus on their work in an office space with expansive ocean views, and after work hours, they can relieve fatigue and stress by experiencing marine healing programs that utilize Wando's clean marine resources.


An official from the county stated, "We hope you will have a special experience that enhances work efficiency while also healing both body and mind through the Wando-style Workation. As Wando offers an environment optimized for workation, we expect this initiative to make a significant contribution to generating demand for extended-stay tourism in the region."
