[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] As the number of pet families (people who raise pets like family members) increases, interest in traveling with pets ahead of the summer vacation is growing.

The Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 30th that it has selected four "Nunchi Bosimashigae" trails for traveling with dogs in collaboration with Jeonbuk Province.

The organization and Jeonbuk Province have been actively developing travel content for traveling with pets since last year. Through this, they announced six "Nunchi Bosimashigae" trails nationwide where you can experience walking with dogs for the first time in Korea.

After recommendations from local governments and expert field consultations, four additional trails selected this year are △ Baramsseuneun-gil (Jeonju) △ Geumgang Wetland Ecological Park (Gunsan) △ Seongdangpogu Baramgaebi-gil and Yongan Ecological Wetland Park (Iksan) △ Gochang Mudflat Ecological Exploration Trail (Gochang).

Jeonju Baramsseuneun-gil is a total 4 km round-trip course starting from the deck path next to Jeonju Natural Ecology Museum, with the Slow Road rest area as the turning point. On the right flows the clear Jeonju Stream, and on the left pass Seungamsa Temple, Chimyeongja Mountain Holy Site, and the World Peace Hall. It is a good path for a slow walk with your dog, feeling the cool breeze under the shade of trees.

Geumgang Wetland Ecological Park is a park along the Geum River waterfront, equipped with a winding reed forest trail, ecological ponds, and a waterside migratory bird observation path. There are pavilions and benches scattered along the walking path, making it suitable for leisurely walks with your dog.

Seongdangpogu Baramgaebi-gil is located behind the Seongdangpogu Geumgang Experience Center. Thousands of colorful pinwheels dance to welcome visitors, and it is a romantic course where you can walk with your dog along a straight path and enjoy picturesque scenery all year round.

Gochang Mudflat Ecological Exploration Trail starts from the Ramsar Gochang Mudflat Center, circles the reed park, and returns to the center. It is characterized by the ability to enjoy a panoramic view of the vast mudflat and the lush reed fields swaying in the wind. At sunset, you can sit on benches and rest areas scattered throughout the trail to admire the beautiful scenery.

Meanwhile, the organization plans to expand the pet-friendly travel project nationwide starting this year, focusing on productizing stay-type tourism courses and conducting online and offline promotional marketing.
