Suwon Nammun Rodeo Market

The Nammun Rodeo Market in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, has been selected as one of the '2023 K-Tourism Market Top 10.'

Previously, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization conducted a selection process targeting traditional markets that participated in a contest to revitalize regional tourism and promote the charm of Korea's traditional markets, choosing the 'K-Tourism Market Top 10.' Traditional markets representing the nation were selected, and Nammun Rodeo Market was the only one chosen from Gyeonggi Province.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism comprehensively considered the market's unique appeal, connectivity with nearby tourist attractions, and its impact on the local economy to select Nammun Rodeo Market along with nine other traditional markets. They plan to develop the 'K-Tourism Market' into a representative tourism product of Korea by discovering things to enjoy, foods to eat, and sights to see, and by creating tourism courses combined with linked tourist destinations.

Suwon City will promote the 'K-Tourism Market' domestically and internationally using TV, local celebrities (ambassadors), and influencers. It will also provide consulting services to attract tourists for each market and support the development of tourism products linked to the markets.

Located adjacent to Paldal Mountain, Nammun Rodeo Market is a shopping district market where tradition and modernity harmonize. It offers abundant food options, and at the youth outdoor performance venue and Nammun Rodeo Art Hall, visitors can enjoy cultural performances and exhibitions by young people. Nearby workshop streets offer craft experience opportunities.

It is close to tourist attractions such as Hwaseong Haenggung, Suwon Hyanggyo, and Paldal Mountain, and with three performance halls, it offers diverse cultural content.

A city official stated, "We will prepare content that everyone can enjoy so that Nammun Rodeo Market can establish itself as a traditional market representing Korea."
