[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong Natural Ecology Park’s ‘Byeolbyeol Camping,’ emerging as a new hot spot for campers in the Jeonnam region, opened on April 23 and is gaining popularity. Recently, it has rapidly risen as a new regional win-win development model for Hampyeong County.

According to the county on the 8th, Byeolbyeol Camping plans to sell a ‘Nabikkurami’ package consisting of Hampyeong Cheonji Hanwoo beef, pork, and local foods raised and produced in Hampyeong.

This is expected to secure new sales channels for local farms that have been struggling due to COVID-19.

Byeolbyeol Camping is playing a key role as a base for ‘stay-type tourism’ for tourists who stay at least one night in Hampyeong, as the number of visitors to Hampyeong’s tourist attractions such as Expo Park, Ilgang Kim Cheol Memorial Hall, Dolmeori Beach, and the drive-in theater increases.

In particular, since the inauguration of County Governor Lee Sang-ik last year, it has been recognized as a regional development win-win model that adds a sales channel connection for local agricultural and specialty products to the ‘4·4·8 Hampyeong Tourism Project’ (a project encouraging visitors to spend 4 hours in the forest, 4 hours by the sea, and 8 hours at accommodations in Hampyeong), which focuses on stay-type tourism infrastructure.

‘Byeolbyeol Camping,’ an auto camping site in Hampyeong Natural Ecology Park, operates 10 top-tier auto caravans and 5 glamping units, attracting great popularity among campers with 1,500 visitors in May during Family Month and 700 visitors in June.

Guests enter Hampyeong Natural Ecology Park on foot and can enjoy camping with the vast Daedongje Ecological Park as their backyard, drawing particular attention from family groups.

A county official stated, “We plan to enhance the region’s image by introducing food, sights, and activities that can only be enjoyed in Hampyeong to tourists, and to increase visitors by additionally installing unique kids’ caravans and auto caravans that combine kids’ pensions and camping.”
