Gangwon Tourism Foundation Overcomes Drought Damage! Cheer up, Gangneung! Gangneung tourism has been activated
Sep 29, 2025
The Gangwon Tourism Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the foundation) announced that it will make a company-wide effort as the head of the Gangwon Tourism Organization to quickly restore tourism to Gangneung, which has been contracted by drought.
Following the lifting of the disaster situation in Gangneung City on the 22nd, the foundation will run Gangneung Special Travel Season from October to December to attract tourists through various events and promotional activities.
The foundation selects two cities and counties as recommended destinations every month through the "2025-2026 Year of Visit to Gangwon" and plans to add Gangneung as a special recommended destination in November and December.
Starting with the Gangneung port of call travel package linked to the Sokcho port of entry cruise on October 18, it will attract more than 200 foreign tourists, and hold various promotions such as climbing Gwaebangsan Mountain in Gangneung, one of Gangwon's top 20 famous mountains, and certification events to visit traditional markets.
It is in talks with related agencies to re-promote 'Gyeongpo Trail Run', which had been postponed indefinitely, in November. Gyeongpo Trailer has established itself as a representative running competition in Gangneung with more than 1,000 participants in the first event held in May this year.
In addition, it is considering holding 'Gangwon Tourism Dure Regional Council' and '2025-2026 Gangwon Visit Year Forum' in Gangneung, and is also preparing support for the production of programs by local broadcasters in Hong Kong to promote Gangneung tourist attractions for foreign tourists.
