The stay-type tourism product, held over one night and two days from the 7th to the 8th, received great response by including admission tickets to major tourist attractions and accommodation fees for a self-pay of 10,000 KRW.

Participants explored Uljin’s representative tourist spots such as the Aquarium, Seongryugul Cave, and Deunggisanskywalk, experienced the sunrise by yacht, and were able to personally feel the charm of Uljin. Uljin-gun plans to collect feedback from tourists through this pilot product to provide higher quality travel products.

Starting with this pilot operation of the railway tourism product, Uljin-gun plans to establish itself as a representative railway travel destination after the opening of the Donghae Line.

Son Byeong-bok, the county governor, said, “We will prepare various measures to revitalize railway tourism and the local economy so that Uljin can take a new leap forward with the opening of the Donghae Line.”
