The nation's tourism authorities will hold events to promote halal restaurants across the country next month, to help Muslim tourists locate halal restaurants here, according to the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), Wednesday.
The KTO and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism have been holding the Halal Restaurant Week Korea event since 2016 for the convenience of Muslim visitors and to address one of the biggest hurdles they face while visiting Korea.
Halal restaurants do not sell pork and have some halal foods on their menus. Halal means "lawful" or "permitted" in Arabic, which means the food is prepared in accordance with religious rules.
The annual event will last for two months through Oct. 31. During the event, Muslim visitors will enjoy discounts at 152 KTO-designated halal restaurants and 40 major tourist destinations across the country.
Visitors can bring coupon books, which will be distributed at KTO's overseas branches and tourist information centers in Korea, or visit hrwkorea.or.kr to download mobile coupons.
The number of participating restaurants has grown from 95 in 2016 to 152 this year.
Before the event, the KTO will also hold a conference at the InterContinental Seoul COEX on Thursday. During the conference, many Muslim-related companies will provide information on their businesses and relevant agencies will offer tourists the chance to experience Korean cuisine made with halal ingredients.

Air Pollution
There may be some times when the Air Pollution is high, pollution can NOT always be seen, especially PM 2.5, which is extremely small, smaller than a human hair.
Here are two sites that monitor Air Pollution in Korea.
1. http://aqicn.org/city/incheon
The US Military in Korea uses the above website, AQI.
2. http://aqicn.org/city/incheon
On days when the PM 2.5 is HIGH, you should wear a proper Mask, such as KF94 or KF99.
If you can buy 10 'masks' for 1,000 Won or a cheap price, it is NOT a proper mask and will NOT filter out PM 2.5 or PM 10 particles.
If you go in to most pharmacies or convenience stores a KF 94 Mask will cost between 2,000 - 3,000 Won. If you buy a multi-pack of masks, you can get them at a cheaper price.
Here is an example of what a KF 94 Mask looks like.

There will likely be Student Groups selling KF 94 Masks during the Fall Semester.
On days when the PM 2.5 levels are high, if you don't wear a mask, you may experience coughing, strange feelings in your nose.throat, wheezing or difficulty breathing.
Protect your health, and check the Air Pollution levels before you go outside, and if the levels are high on that day, avoid outside exercise and activities.
