Seoul's tourism program aimed to create an inclusive experience for 20 participants, including individuals with disabilities, older adults, and families with young children. The initiative, called the "Own Your Way Mingling Tour," took place at Namsangol Hanok Village and Seoul Namsan Gugak Center. The tour focused on traditional culture, public art, and accessible travel, aligning with Seoul's campaign to showcase the city as open to everyone.
Participants engaged in a coin hunt inspired by The Find Seoul, a public art project by British artist Ryan Gander. The project involves discovering specially designed coins hidden around Seoul. As participants searched for coins at Namsangol Hanok Village, they explored the traditional cultural site from a new perspective.
To accommodate accessibility needs, the Seoul Tourism Organization provided a wheelchair-accessible minivan, the Seoul Danurim Tourism minivan, for tour participants. This tour marked one of the many efforts by Seoul to promote inclusivity and accessibility in its tourism offerings.
