With the peak summer vacation season approaching, Gyeonggi Province is conducting a comprehensive inspection of rural farm stays across the region until July 24, 2026.


During this inspection, Gyeonggi Province will verify whether pensions (guesthouses) have been properly registered as rural farm stays, check for illegal extensions to buildings, confirm whether business owners actually reside at their registered addresses, and assess overall compliance with facility standards. In addition, the authorities will examine fire and safety facilities, review adherence to relevant laws and regulations, and carry out targeted inspections of properties suspected of unauthorized or deceptive business practices. If any violations are discovered during on-site inspections, appropriate measures such as administrative actions will be taken in accordance with relevant legislation.


Gyeonggi Province emphasized that confirming the registration status of a pension is the first step to ensuring a safe stay, and advised the public to choose officially registered rural farm stays over unregistered accommodations.

The registration status of a rural farm stay can be checked on the Gyeonggi Province website (gg.go.kr) under the 'Pre-disclosure of Information' menu or on each municipality's website.


Lee Moonmu, Director of the Agricultural Policy Division in Gyeonggi Province, said, "Unregistered pensions may fall through the cracks of safety management, so we strongly advise against using them. Please make sure to check the registration status before booking, and if you find any facilities suspected of illegal operations, report them to the relevant city or county to help create a safer accommodation environment."



As of the end of last year, there were 3,916 rural farm stays in the province, making it the fifth highest among metropolitan local governments nationwide.
