Cultural Notes
South Korea has historically focused economic development on major cities like Seoul, leaving rural areas less developed. In recent years, the Korean government has implemented various programs to revitalize rural regions and encourage domestic tourism as a way to balance regional development and preserve traditional Korean culture and countryside heritage. These voucher and discount programs are part of Korea's broader "New Deal" economic strategy to support local communities and small businesses outside metropolitan areas.
