From November 24,
3,000-Won Coffee Coupons for Paying Tourists

Gokseong County in South Jeolla Province announced that it will officially launch the “Seomjingang Train Village Local Drink” program on November 24. This initiative is designed as a win-win program for both local businesses and tourists.

This event, organized for the year-end season, will provide paying visitors to Seomjingang Train Village with a coupon worth 3,000 won that can be used at local cafes. The program aims to express gratitude to tourists while encouraging new visitors to local cafes.

Previously, Gokseong County confirmed strong interest and participation from local businesses through an open application process, ultimately selecting a total of 20 cafes within the county.

The participating cafes are located in various areas, including the center of Gokseong-eup and near tourist attractions. This diverse composition is expected to encourage tourists to naturally visit different parts of the county after touring the Train Village, creating a local circular economy effect.

Starting November 24, coupons will be distributed on-site to paying visitors at Seomjingang Train Village. Tourists can freely use the coupon at any participating cafe of their choice. Detailed information about the participating establishments can be found on the back of the coupon and through Gokseong County’s official social media channels.

The county plans to settle the coupon usage with each business after the event, based on actual usage. However, as the event is being held on a limited scale, it may end early if the coupons run out sooner than expected.

A county official said, “This program was created to offer visitors a travel experience that extends from enjoying the beautiful scenery of Seomjingang Train Village to relaxing with a warm drink at a local cafe. We hope this event will express our gratitude to tourists and become a win-win model that brings new energy to local cafes.”
