It has established itself as one of Yeongdeok’s leading experiential tourism contents, where visitors can enjoy the thrill of speed against the backdrop of the open sea and coastline.

The county completed safety inspections and operational preparations for the entire facility ahead of the reopening. With customer safety as the top priority, the facility management and on-site operational systems have also been fully revamped.

Even after reopening, Yeongdeok-gun plans to maintain regular facility inspections and safety management in order to proactively eliminate potential accident risks and provide an environment where visitors can enjoy the experience safely.

The fee is 15,000 won for a round trip and 10,000 won for a one-way ride per adult. Fees for youth and children vary by age, and groups of 20 or more can receive discounted rates.

Eligible groups such as national merit recipients, people with disabilities, families with multiple children, Yeongdeok-gun residents, and guests using local accommodation facilities are offered a 20% discount on the fee.

Yeongdeok-gun expects the reopening of Byeolparang Zipline to increase synergy with nearby tourism resources, including the wind power complex, and to help revitalize stay-type tourism in the region.

In particular, the county believes that by expanding experiential contents where tourists actively participate and enjoy, rather than simply appreciating the scenery, it will also play a role in enhancing the competitiveness of Yeongdeok’s tourism.

Jo Juhong, Governor of Yeongdeok-gun, commented, "We have completed safety checks and operational system improvements with the support of many waiting for the Byeolparang Zipline. As this is a facility where visitors can enjoy both the beautiful nature of the East Sea and thrilling excitement, we will continue to improve safety management and service quality."

The reopening of Byeolparang Zipline goes beyond the restart of a single tourism facility; it is significant as it combines hands-on content with Yeongdeok’s marine and forest scenery.

To increase tourism stay duration and regional spending, it is important to connect not just the facility’s attractiveness but also nearby sightseeing spots, accommodation, and food options into one cohesive experience. Above all, since the competitiveness of a leisure sports facility starts with "safety," continuous inspections and systematic operations are likely to determine the long-term tourism competitiveness of Byeolparang Zipline.
