While most of the awardees came from tourism and hospitality industries, TV program “2 Days & 1 Night” made it on the list in recognition of introducing various travel spots across the country and boosting domestic tourism.

The show introduces new places around Korea every Sunday, and stars Cha Tae-hyun, Jung Joon-young, Defconn, Kim Jun-ho, Yoon Si-yoon and Kim Jong-min.

Launched in 2007, “2 Days & 1 Night” has marked an average viewership share of 9.7 percent.
