An event that started last month offers cultural experiences that foreign tourists desire.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization are hosting the ¡°Korea Bucket List¡± event until Nov. 10 for about 20,000 selected visitors from abroad, featuring a range of tourism content such as Hallyu (Korean Wave), Korean history, cosmetics and beauty.

The event consists of four rounds. The first round was for those visiting from Sept. 1 to 15 (application period: Aug. 13 to 21); the second round was from Sept. 16 to 30 (application period: Aug. 29 to Sept. 8); the third round is from Oct. 1 to 15 (application period: Sept. 12 to 22); and the fourth round is from Oct. 16 to Nov. 10 (application period: Sept. 26 to Oct. 6).

The event¡¯s official website (https://koreabucketlist.com) offers applicants a selection of 36 benefits during their visit. About 20,000 tourists will be selected randomly.

The ¡°K-culture¡± experience is divided into core themes by round, such as Hallyu, history and tradition, beauty and region. Options include participating in a K-pop program at the studios of famous dance teams, recording K-pop songs, visiting traditional markets, taking courses on Hansik (traditional cuisine), going on Buddhist temple stays, getting hair treatments and makeup like K-pop idols, and receiving vouchers to stay at wellness resorts.

A hundred roundtrip airline tickets will also be given to foreign tourists visiting regions outside of Seoul. The recipients will depart from Gimpo International Airport and head to Yeosu Airport in Yeosu, Jeollanam-do Province; Pohang Gyeongju Airport in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province; and Jeju International Airport on Jeju Island.

Winners will also receive vouchers to wear Hanbok, enter theme parks, rent items to picnic at a Hangang River Park in Seoul, and receive a public transportation card with a photo of singer Cha Eun-woo, who is a promotional ambassador for Visit Korea Year 2023-24.
