The allure of travel goes beyond simply enjoying beautiful landscapes. It becomes a memorable experience when you immerse yourself in the unique culture, cuisine, and natural environment of a region. The 11th Korea International Tourism Expo (KITS 2026) provided a meaningful opportunity to explore diverse travel destinations across the country and gather inspiration for new adventures.
This expo, held from July 3 to 5, 2026, at KINTEX Hall 10 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, featured local governments, tourism organizations, and travel-related businesses showcasing representative tourist attractions, festivals, local specialties, and experiential programs. Each booth offered unique exhibitions and events that allowed visitors to gain travel information while experiencing the charm of the regions firsthand.
Among the many booths, the Goesan County booth attracted a significant number of visitors. It highlighted Goesan's pristine nature, organic industry, history, culture, and seasonal festivals, effectively promoting its appeal as a healing travel destination.
Goesan County is renowned for its beautiful natural landscapes, including Sobaeksan National Park, the Old Mountain Path, Hwayanggu-gok, and Sangok Valley. It is also recognized as a representative organic city in South Korea, hosting various seasonal festivals and offering a wealth of agricultural and specialty products, making it a beloved destination for those seeking nature, food, and unique experiences.
At the Goesan County booth, visitors were engaged with displays of major tourist attractions, festivals, and local specialties, along with an emphasis on Goesan's pristine nature and organic city image. It served as an impressive promotional space for travelers looking to spend leisurely time in nature.
In addition to promoting tourist sites and festivals, the booth featured interactive events like an SNS follow event and a nostalgic lottery event, drawing considerable interest. Participation was simple: by following Goesan County's official social media, visitors received wet wipes while promoting the 2026 Goesan Chili Festival.
The nostalgic lottery game reminded participants of past stationery store games, allowing them to select a box and check their results, providing fun simply through participation. Various promotional items and souvenirs were offered as prizes, enhancing the enjoyment of the event.
The expo also featured a happy farming and rural living fair, where visitors could learn about Goesan's farming and rural living support initiatives. Goesan County is recognized as a prime area for returning to farming and rural living, actively promoting various support programs to help newcomers settle in comfortably.
Goesan is known for producing a variety of agricultural products, including the famous Goesan Clean Chili, pickled cabbage, sweet corn, potatoes, apples, shiitake mushrooms, and grains. The booth promoted these key agricultural products while introducing Goesan's excellent agricultural environment and high-quality produce, providing valuable information to visitors interested in returning to farming.
Visitors could easily access helpful materials about farming support programs, agricultural education, settlement assistance for farmers, and housing and farming information. The booth actively promoted Goesan as a place where one can start a new life surrounded by nature, beyond just farming.
Notably, as a representative organic city in South Korea, Goesan boasts a well-established eco-friendly agricultural foundation and offers various education and community programs for returning farmers, ensuring a supportive environment for beginners. This regional strength garnered significant interest from visitors considering a return to farming.
The Goesan County booth at the happy farming and rural living fair showcased not only the charms of Goesan as a tourist city but also its image as a 'livable rural area.' It provided a valuable perspective on Goesan, previously known only as a travel destination, as a potential new home for those dreaming of a leisurely life in nature.
