  "summary": "The Seoul tourism hub is making significant changes to enhance the visitor experience, particularly during evening hours. The Regional Tourism Antenna Shop, located near Seoul City Hall, will extend its operating hours to 9 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays, providing a platform for nighttime walking tours and cultural activities. This initiative aims to showcase regional food, culture, and travel offerings before the city's skyline lights up. Additionally, two new Seoul walking-tour courses will commence from the Antenna Shop starting September 1, focusing on Jeong-dong and Deoksu Palace. The travel hall and goods shop within the hub will also adjust their hours, opening until 9 p.m. on Saturdays from August to October. This expansion of services is part of a broader effort by the city and the Seoul Tourism Organization to engage Korean residents more deeply in local tourism and cultural programs, with monthly one-day classes highlighting regional offerings.",
