According to the Gochang Culture and Tourism Foundation on the 22nd, this project was planned in collaboration with the Korea Tourism Organization's "Travel Month in June" campaign to revitalize tourism in Gochang during June.
The participants are adults aged 19 or older, excluding residents of Gochang County. They can freely travel during June, stay at least one night, visit at least three of the seven treasures of Gochang County, and upload certification photos on SNS.
There are several conditions to participate in the event, and detailed information can be found on the foundation's website.
In July, 40 teams who meet the conditions will be selected through a lottery and will receive gift sets of Gochang County's agricultural specialty products.
This event targets stay-type tourists and is expected to contribute to revitalizing the local economy by extending the time visitors stay in Gochang.
An Jong-seon, Executive Director of the Gochang Culture and Tourism Foundation, said, "Through this project, we hope tourists visiting Gochang enjoy Gochang’s UNESCO heritage and feel the charm of Gochang more deeply."
