Gyeonggi-do begins construction of ‘Run Gyeonggi’, a running-based local tourism platform

Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced on the 16th that they will begin building and operating 'Run Gyeonggi', a running-based local tourism platform, to revitalize local tourism.

The RunGyeonggi platform plans to operate day-type and overnight run tour products utilizing the province's representative tourist resources and provide integrated services ranging from course exploration to reservations, participation, and review sharing.

In addition, we plan to discover and operate stay-type tourism content that combines the history, culture, ecology, and waterfront tourism resources of 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi-do with running.

Previously, Gyeonggi-do and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization launched a tourism startup cooperation project to discover new growth models for the Gyeonggi-do tourism industry by utilizing creative ideas and technology from the private sector, selected 'Mooncademy' as the final cooperation company, and signed an agreement on the 12th.

Mooncademy is a tourism startup that operates a running event and run tour platform.

An official from the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization said, "This project is an attempt to connect various tourism resources in the province in a new way by utilizing specialized content called running. We hope that by combining the innovative capabilities of private startups and local tourism resources, we can create demand for stay-at-home tourism and contribute to revitalizing the local economy."
