Lemon Payments partners with Chungju Tourism Foundation to boost regional culture and tourism

Fintech firm Lemon Payments is collaborating with the Chungju Tourism Foundation to invigorate cultural tourism and the local economy in the Chungju and Jungwon regions of South Korea. The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), aims to leverage Lemon Payments' technological expertise to attract more visitors and boost spending.

Under the agreement, Lemon Payments will introduce a prepaid "Lemon Tourism Pass Card" for use in Chungju and surrounding areas. A key feature will be the establishment of a "Tax Refund System" designed to offer immediate tax refunds and rewards, significantly improving the experience for international tourists. The company also plans to actively support the local tourism industry through idea generation, new product development, and attracting foreign visitors.

The Chungju Tourism Foundation will reciprocate by providing essential cultural and historical data, administrative assistance, and comprehensive marketing and promotional support to ensure the successful integration of Lemon Payments' systems. Furthermore, the foundation intends to broaden its collaborative efforts with neighboring municipalities such as Jecheon, Danyang, and Goesan, as well as other tourism organizations, to collectively promote the cultural tourism of the Chungbuk Jungwon area.

Nam Ki-ok, CEO of Lemon Payments, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, "Through this agreement, it is meaningful that our company can contribute to the revitalization of Chungju's cultural tourism with our payment infrastructure and tax refund technology. By establishing a system that allows convenient consumption for foreign tourists and immediate tax refunds, we will lead the way in attracting long-term tourists and revitalizing the local economy."
