Gyeonggi Province Launches "Camp Greaves Linked Tour Package" to Boost DMZ Peace Tourism
From Trying on Military Uniforms to Ecotourism:
Gyeonggi Province and Gyeonggi Tourism Organization Launch Three Courses Using Eco-Friendly Shuttle Buses
Operated 20 Times Until October
Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization will launch a new travel package that allows visitors to experience major DMZ tourist sites located within the Civilian Control Line (CCL) area.
The newly introduced "Camp Greaves Linked Tour Package" is a one-day tour program centered around Camp Greaves, a historical park that was formerly a U.S. military base. The program includes a variety of peace tourism destinations such as Tongilchon, Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola, Majang Lake, and Odusan Observatory.
This year, two specialized travel agencies selected through a public contest will operate the tours, with each course accommodating up to 30 participants per session, once a week, for a total of 20 sessions. As part of the shift toward carbon neutrality in tourism, eco-friendly shuttle buses will be used, and course content will be diversified by including ecological trekking courses depending on the number of participants.
In particular, a guided tour utilizing 10 exhibition halls at Camp Greaves, along with interactive experiences such as making military dog tags and trying on military uniforms, is expected to draw high interest from visitors. The newly renovated Gallery Greaves this year will offer a new experience of issuing visitor passes and a storytelling exhibition using DMZ helmets, further enhancing the quality of the content.
The tour package will begin operation on Saturday, June 28, and will continue through October. Participants will be provided with a comprehensive tourism package that includes a gondola ride, lunch, and experience fees.
