The second round of advance reservations will be conducted from May 11 to June 30, 2026, and may close early if the allocated budget for each round is exhausted. Applications can be submitted on weekdays only (excluding weekends and public holidays) from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. through the Goheung Tourism website.

The eligible travel period for applications is from May 12 to June 30, 2026, and applications for travel in July and August will be conducted separately in the third and fourth rounds at a later date.

Participants, after making an advance reservation and visiting tourist attractions within Goheung County, can make payments at tourism-related businesses such as accommodations, restaurants, cafes, or experience facilities using the mobile Goheung Love Gift Certificate. They will then be reimbursed 50% of their spending in the same mobile gift certificate.

To participate smoothly in the program, travelers must install the local gift certificate "Chak" app before their trip and check in advance whether the mobile Goheung Love Gift Certificate can be used at each establishment, depending on the payment type (QR code payment or Goheung Love Gift Certificate card payment).

An official from the county's Tourism Policy Office stated, "The Goheung Banjeon Trip provides tangible travel benefits to tourists and creates economic effects through increased consumption in the region. We hope that many tourists will stay in Goheung, experience the charm of the area, and create special travel memories."
