[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jongseon] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced that Gokseong Seomjingang Train Village, a representative tourist destination, has recently been gaining attention as a safe travel destination.

Gokseong Seomjingang Train Village was actually selected as a ‘2022 Inbound Safe Travel Destination’ by the Korea Tourism Organization last December.

As part of the ‘Korea Safe Travel Campaign,’ the Korea Tourism Organization selected 125 inbound safe travel destinations through an expert advisory committee, focusing on places that properly maintain quarantine systems, route management, and tourist management, and Gokseong Seomjingang Train Village was included.

In line with the selection as a safe travel destination, Gokseong Seomjingang Train Village is holding a non-face-to-face event called “Making the Only One Chocolate in the World Just for Me” for Valentine’s Day and White Day from February 1 to March 31.

The event is held at the Korea Chocolate Research Institute Museum within Seomjingang Train Village, where participants can make chocolates using their desired photos through advance reservation. Since the event is conducted non-face-to-face, advance reservation is mandatory.

Meanwhile, Gokseong Seomjingang Train Village harmoniously combines various indoor and outdoor facilities such as steam locomotives, rail bike experiences, a 4D experience center, and the 1004 Rose Park, and is recognized as a representative local tourist destination where visitors can travel safely even during COVID-19.

An official from the county said, “Seomjingang Train Village is doing its best in quarantine aiming to be a zero COVID-19 occurrence tourist site. We will do our utmost to operate it as a tourist destination where anyone, regardless of age or family status, can travel safely.”
