In particular, Korail plans to actively encourage tourist visits by holding a special event in conjunction with the "Travel Month 2026" campaign, offering up to 100% reimbursement of railway fares during April and May for two months.

"Space Railroad 999" offers various benefits to tourists who visit Goheung's attractions and meet certain requirements, such as staying overnight and dining at local restaurants, making it a stay-type tourism product.

Travelers who stay at least one night in Goheung and use local restaurants and other facilities will receive up to KRW 100,000 worth of mobile Goheung Love Gift Certificates (Chak) per person, naturally encouraging local consumption.

Additionally, after visiting designated tourist attractions and completing a QR authentication process, travelers can receive railway fare reimbursement benefits, reducing the burden of transportation costs and making Goheung more accessible to a greater number of tourists.

Goheung County places great significance on this event as a shift toward a stay-type tourism structure that encourages accommodation and spending. The distributed local gift certificates can only be used within the local commercial district, directly helping to increase sales for local businesses such as restaurants, lodging establishments, cafes, and tourist facilities, thereby revitalizing the local economy.

An official from the county tourism policy office stated, "Space Railroad 999 is a stay-type tourism product that combines the accessibility of railway travel with Goheung's tourism resources. We expect that by encouraging tourists to stay in Goheung, spend locally, and build relationships with the area, it will contribute to revitalizing the local economy and increasing the resident population."
