Sejong City launches stayover tourism event for travelers

Sejong Special Self-Governing City is launching a stayover tourism event titled ‘I am also King Sejong! 1 Night 10 Sights × Mother-of-Pearl Promotional Item Event’ to attract domestic and international tourists.

Running from October 1 to November 30, the initiative targets ‘bleisure’ travelers—those combining business trips with leisure activities. Participants who stay at least one night in a registered Sejong accommodation and visit at least two of ten designated landmarks can receive a traditional mother-of-pearl business card holder.

The promotional items feature designs inspired by local historical assets and landmarks, including King Sejong the Great, General Kim Jong-seo, and the Eung Bridge. A total of 300 items are available, with 200 allocated for October and 100 for November.

Designated landmarks include Sejong Lake Park, National Sejong Arboretum, Eung Bridge, Bear Tree Park, and the Presidential Archives, among others. To participate, visitors must submit a photo taken at a landmark and their accommodation receipt via a digital form.
