Cheongyang County in South Chungcheong Province announced on the 27th that it will operate a tourism promotion booth at the "2025 Naenara Travel Expo," which will be held at the Seoul Trade Exhibition Center (SETEC) until the 30th, to widely promote the diverse attractions of local tourist destinations in celebration of the "2025 Year of Creating Cheongyang Tourism City."
The "Naenara Travel Expo" is the largest travel exhibition in Korea, hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism since 2004. This year, over 130 organizations from across the country will operate 230 booths.
The expo provides a venue for communication and information exchange where visitors can experience the diverse charms of domestic travel in Korea all in one place.
At this expo, the county plans to actively promote its spring tourist attractions, the representative spring festival "Jangseung Culture Festival," the essential tourism product "Cheongyang Tour Pass," and the "Chilgaptower" and "Chilgapho Tourism District," which are scheduled to open in the second half of the year.
In particular, the county’s tourism character "Cheongyangi" will participate in the opening parade, offering photo opportunities with visitors and providing special enjoyment to tourists visiting the booth.
Additionally, various events such as a roulette game and nostalgic claw machine will be held for visitors, with souvenirs featuring the Cheongyangi design (such as umbrellas, dolls, pens) and snacks made from Cheongyang’s specialty products (such as goji berry jelly and goji berry sweet potato chips) being given as prizes.
A county official stated, "We are delighted to showcase Cheongyang County's diverse tourism content in celebration of the 2025 Year of Creating Cheongyang Tourism City and the 2025-2026 Visit Chungnam Years," and added, "We hope that many tourists will discover the charm of Cheongyang at the expo and be inspired to visit in person."
Meanwhile, Cheongyang County has set this year's county slogan as "2025! Year of Creating Cheongyang Tourism City" and plans to focus its efforts on tourism policies to vitalize the local economy by increasing the resident population through attracting more tourists.
