Healing Programs for Couples, Engaged Couples, and Expectant Mothers Gain Popularity

Seongju Tourism Dure's resident enterprise 'Byeolbyeol Tour' is demonstrating the potential to revitalize local tourism by receiving positive feedback from participants for its stay-type product, "Mindfulness Couple Trip to Seongju," a one-night, two-day package, and its one-day emotional tour, "Gayasan Forest, Emotional Walk," both operated as part of the Korea Tourism Organization's Tourism Dure pilot project.


According to Seongju County on November 12, this project has attracted attention as a stay-type tourism model centered around spaces operated by local residents. The main courses include Sejong the Great's Prince's Placenta Chamber, Hangae Village, Seongsan Ancient Tombs, and the Gayasan Jeonggyeonmoju Trail, which are Seongju's representative tourist attractions. The program also connects local restaurants (Milhan Jeongsik and Gamgol Restaurant), hanok-style cafes (Cheongdam 1942), and emotional accommodations (Anne's Garden Pension and The Hyang Pension), all run by local residents.

The stay-type product, "Mindfulness Couple Trip," is a prenatal healing program designed for pregnant women and engaged couples. It received an enthusiastic response for its diverse content that supports psychological stability and recovery, such as visiting the placenta chamber, forest yoga, traditional tea experiences, and letter writing.


The one-day product, "Gayasan Forest, Emotional Walk," offers experience-based content centered on emotional well-being, such as walking along the Jeonggyeonmoju Trail, tasting hand-drip coffee, and making vintage drawing frames. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction and a strong intention to participate again.



An official from the Seongju County Tourism Division stated, "The Tourism Dure pilot project by Byeolbyeol Tour is an excellent example of a stay-type tourism model where local residents directly operate and transform local tourism resources into experiential content. Seongju County will continue to discover tourism models in collaboration with local residents and strengthen administrative support to contribute to the local economy by promoting stay-type tourism."
