The inspection will cover a total of 185 locations, including 168 rural guesthouses, 13 rural experiential villages, and 4 tourist farms. In particular, facilities with swimming pools and other water play areas will be prioritized for inspection, taking into account the period of peak usage, as part of efforts to strengthen safety management.

Goheung-gun plans to comprehensively check the status of facility safety management through both its own full survey and joint inspections with related agencies.

Key inspection items include the proper functioning of fire, gas, and electrical facilities, as well as identifying risk factors for fires and safety accidents, and the maintenance status of facilities. For swimming pools and other water recreation facilities, the inspection will focus on whether safety signs are in place, whether water quality and purification facilities are operating properly, and whether lifesaving equipment is available.

An official from the county’s Agricultural Policy Division stated, "Through thorough pre-inspections and safety management, we will do our utmost to ensure that visitors can enjoy a safe and pleasant summer vacation by keeping the facilities well-managed."
