Hwaseong City Hosts Special Events for International Boat Show

Hwaseong City has organized a special event in which visitors can win prizes by taking photos at the Gyeonggi International Boat Show from the 8th through the 12th and uploading them to the city's blog "Hwasaham."

The city is using the latest smartphone trend by having visitors scan a QR code, then follow the instructions to upload photos taken at the boat show venue to the blog and leave their name and contact information.

The event QR code is posted on banners at the Hwaseong City Promotion Pavilion within the boat show venue and on the city's blog "Hwasaham" homepage.

An official from the promotion pavilion said, "We prepared this event to promote Hwaseong City, which is leading South Korea's marine leisure industry, to visitors taking photos with their smartphones."

Meanwhile, the city plans to announce the lottery results on the 15th on the Hwaseong City blog "Hwasaham" (http://blog.hscity.net) and will contact winners individually to provide commemorative gifts.
