Samcheok City to Offer Continuous Tourism Services with No Closures During May Golden Holidays

Samcheok City in Gangwon Province is set to provide "seamless tourism services" in May, the "Month of Family," by adjusting the regular closing days of major tourist attractions and launching various SNS events to enhance convenience for visitors during the golden holiday period that includes Children's Day and Buddha's Birthday.

This holiday period is a long break that includes substitute holidays, and a rise in family visitors is anticipated. To further improve convenience for tourists, the city plans to adjust the closing days of attractions flexibly during the period around Children's Day (May 5) and Buddha's Birthday (May 24).

Accordingly, Samcheok City will keep major tourist attractions—including Chogok Yonggul Chotdae Bawi-gil, Jangho Beach Camping Site, Hwalgi Healing Forest, Isabu Lion Park, and the Children's Eco Exploration Exhibition Hall—open as usual on May 4 and May 25. The regular closing days will instead be rescheduled to the following days, May 6 and May 26, respectively.

In addition to operating tourist attractions, the city will also strengthen online promotion. Through Samcheok City’s official tourism SNS channel, ‘SamcheokEU,’ participatory events targeting the Month of Family in May will be launched to attract interest from both tourists and citizens.

The events will include a comment-based activity where participants select "Samcheok attractions you must visit in May," as well as another event where visitors share photos taken during the Samcheok Rose Festival on SNS. Participants will be offered a variety of prizes, such as mobile gifticons, to maximize the effectiveness of online promotion.

A city official stated, "To celebrate the Month of Family in May and the Samcheok Rose Festival, we have prepared a range of sights and activities, and we will flexibly manage the operation of major tourist attractions to minimize inconvenience for visitors. We hope many tourists will visit Samcheok and fully enjoy the charms of the region."

The official added, "Going forward, we will continue to expand hands-on tourism services and participatory content that can be felt on-site, and strive to establish Samcheok as the number one destination for family travel."
