Busan City is providing a free stroller and wheelchair rental service for tourists travelling with babies and infants, the disabled or those with walking difficulties.
For tourists traveling around the Jagalchi Market and Gukje Market areas of town, there are now two strollers and wheelchairs placed at Busan Tourist Information Center, located in Nampo-dong. Tourists can rent a stroller or wheelchair by visiting the Busan Tourist Information Center. Prior reservations are possible by calling 051)253-8253. The city plans to expand this service to other tourist information centers across Busan in the future.
In addition, Busan City has been implementing various policies to support the development of the local tourism industry in Busan, including the stationing of walking tourist guides at Busan’s major attractions, the introduction of a puzzle stamp tour, and Braille travel guides for the visually handicapped.
A City official said, “Through these tourist services which provide greater convenience for all, we expect that more tourists will visit Busan” and added, “We will strive to develop various tourism policies further, to actively promote tourism in Busan.”
