[Financial News] The Korea Forest Welfare Institute announced on the 7th that it will offer lodging discounts of up to 30% at forest welfare facilities throughout October to express its gratitude to military personnel, police officers and firefighters on the occasion of Armed Forces Day and Police Day.

The discount will be available from October 1 through 31 at national forest welfare facilities offering lodging nationwide. The discount rate is 30% on weekdays and 10% on weekends.
The eligible facilities comprise 10 locations, including two national forest therapy centers and eight national forest activity centers: National Forest Therapy Center; National Jinan Highland Forest Therapy Center; Hoengseong National SoopCheWon; National Center for Forest Activities, Chilgok; National Center for Forest Activities, Jangseong; National Center for Forest Activities, Cheongdo; National Center for Forest Activities, Daejeon; National Center for Forest Activities, Chuncheon; National Center for Forest Education, Naju; and National Center for Forest Activities, Gimhae.
Reservations for forest welfare facilities can be made through the Soop e-rang website from 9 a.m. on the 15th of each month for stays in the following month. Reservations for October stays will open at 9 a.m. on the 15th of this month.
