The first half Coexistence Market is expected to be an opportunity to showcase the charm of Gyeongbuk village enterprises not only to local residents but also to tourists from across the country by being held at Bomun Complex, a famous tourist destination in Gyeongju.
This Coexistence Market will feature 23 village enterprises from Gyeongbuk, operating 26 booths including promotional and sales booths (agricultural and livestock products, seafood, processed foods, etc.), experience booths (cooking, clay), a Gyeongbuk village enterprise tourism promotion zone (information on accommodation and experiences such as Hanok stays and campsites), cultural performances, and prize events.
The promotional and sales booths are composed of products carefully prepared by the village enterprises themselves using ingredients grown or produced locally, with a selection designed to appeal to people of all ages.
