'Kids Camping Land' Established at Paju Gongneung Tourist Site... Completion in 2026
Paju-si Selected for New Special Situation Area Development Project... Secures 4.6 Billion KRW Including National Funds
Paju City is creating a 'Kids Camping Land' at Gongneung Tourist Site, which attracts more than 100,000 visitors annually.
On the 24th, Paju City in Gyeonggi announced that it will create a 'Kids Camping Land' at Gongneung Tourist Site, which attracts more than 100,000 tourists annually.
In August, Paju City secured 4.6 billion KRW in national funding after the 'Gongneung Kids Camping Land Development Project' was selected as a new project for special situation area development in 2025, hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
The special situation area development project aims to promote welfare and regional development for residents in special situation areas that have been marginalized in regional development due to geographical conditions, with 80% of the project cost supported by national funds.
The newly selected 'Gongneung Kids Camping Land Development Project' is designed to create a stay-type tourist destination to enhance the competitiveness of the tourism industry and increase local income by attracting tourists.
Through this project, 20 camping sites will be established on approximately 2,600 pyeong (8,700㎡) of city-owned land at Gongneung Tourist Site. The city plans to renovate existing aging buildings to provide various convenience facilities such as restrooms and showers for citizens' comfortable use.
Based on the feasibility of project promotion following the acquisition of national funds, Paju City plans to promptly carry out administrative procedures and related processes, complete the basic and detailed designs and the establishment of the tourism site development plan (revision) by 2025, and aim for completion in the second half of 2026.
