According to Gochang County on July 3, the county recently ended private consignment management of the Gochang Eupseong Hanok Village accommodation and switched to direct county operation. As a result, major lodging facilities such as Hanok Village, Gochang Mudflat Auto Camping Glamping Site, Ungok Wetland Youth Hostel, and Seonunsan Youth Hostel are now operated directly by the county.

The Gochang Eupseong Hanok Village offers guests the unique atmosphere of hanok (traditional Korean houses) set against the tranquil backdrop of the fortress walls. The facility has a total of 11 rooms and is open to family travelers, group tourists, and participants in experience programs. It is also known as a place visited by celebrities such as actor Gong Yoo, singer Rain, and broadcaster Noh Hongchul.

The glamping facility at the Gochang Mudflat Auto Camping Site also recently came under direct county management. The site consists of 9 units, and during the peak summer season in July and August, the 'Mudflat SEA-nema' marine healing program is held every Saturday. This program, which will be held 12 times, allows visitors to enjoy outdoor movies and a variety of hands-on experiences with the mudflats as a backdrop.

Located in the heart of the Ungok Wetland, a Ramsar-designated site, the Ungok Wetland Youth Hostel provides accommodations where guests can closely experience the primeval forest and wetland ecology.

The Seonunsan Youth Hostel is situated within the Seonunsan Tourist Complex, making it easy for guests to also visit Seonunsa Temple and the provincial park. As a result, inquiries about bookings increase during the vacation season.

Gochang County has implemented an open reservation system alongside its direct management, making it easier for anyone to use the accommodations. Additionally, a variety of events and promotions are being offered to broaden the range of choices for tourists.

A Gochang County official stated, "We will continue to develop various tourism content to expand stay-based tourism, increase the resident population, and stimulate local consumption, ultimately leading to revitalization of the regional economy."
