Gyeonggi Tourism Organization Launches Dongducheon Local Tourism Content 'SOOPICK'

Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization will launch the 'SOOPICK Project' at Dongducheon Natural Recreation Forest starting August 21.

SOOPICK is a local tourism content initiative designed to link Dongducheon Natural Recreation Forest with local restaurants and workshops, allowing guests staying at the forest to conveniently experience Dongducheon’s food and products during their visit.

Visitors can scan a QR code provided in their room with their smartphone to order local products without installing a separate app. The ordered items will be delivered to unmanned pickup stations within the forest twice daily. Guests receive a text message with storage locker information, enabling them to collect their orders contact-free.

This project features a total of 10 brands, including seven local restaurants and three workshops in Dongducheon. A 'SOOPICK Showroom' will be set up in the recreation forest’s main lobby to present the products and stories of these participating brands, aiming to introduce tourists to local foods and crafts and encourage actual purchases and visits to the area.

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization will also host an experiential pop-up, ‘Trick or Soop,’ in the vicinity of Dongducheon Natural Recreation Forest from October 24 to 25. This forest pop-up event combines Joseon-era tales and Halloween, offering visitors the chance to directly experience a variety of local content, including food and beverages, workshops, and local creators.

A representative from the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization stated, “SOOPICK is content that connects tourism spaces to local businesses, enabling visitors at the natural recreation forest to naturally encounter Dongducheon’s regional foods and workshop products. We will continue to support this initiative so that the unique resources and stories of the region lead to longer stays, increased consumption, and repeat visits from tourists.”
