Daemyung Sono Group's Sono International announced on the 23rd that the Samaksan Lake Cable Car has been selected as one of the '2023-2024 Korea Tourism 100 Must-Visit Destinations' by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization.

The Samaksan Cable Car is a leisure facility operating the longest domestic route of 3.61 km, set against the backdrop of Samaksan Mountain and Uiam Lake, which represent Chuncheon. It operates a total of 66 cabins, including 20 Crystal Cabins. This is the first time the Samaksan Cable Car has been included in the government-announced Korea Tourism 100. The company explained that this achievement, reached just over a year after its opening in October last year, was highly evaluated for contributing not only to the beautiful surrounding natural scenery but also to tourism and regional economic revitalization.

The Korea Tourism 100 is a national project introduced and promoted every two years by the government to activate domestic tourism and foster related industries by showcasing representative tourist destinations. Experts from tourism academia and the travel industry conduct a three-stage review and evaluation process, which includes recommendations from local governments and big data analysis from navigation and social network services (SNS), to make the final selection.

A Sono International official said, "It is especially meaningful that the Samaksan Cable Car has been selected as one of the Korea Tourism 100, as it is a symbolic place of K-culture attracting global attention. We will enhance its value so that the outstanding scenery of Samaksan Mountain and Uiam Lake, enjoyed while riding the cable car, will also be attractive to foreign tourists, going beyond being just a representative tourism and leisure facility of the region."

Meanwhile, Sono International will operate a customer appreciation promotion to celebrate the Samaksan Cable Car's selection in the Korea Tourism 100. From January 1 to February 28 next year, visitors can receive up to a 40% discount on usage fees. Detailed information regarding facility use can be found on the Samaksan Cable Car website.
