The city of Yeongju announced an eco-friendly camping program on August 22 from 1 PM to 8 PM at Yeongju Lake Auto Camping Site, under the slogan "Beat the heat, cut emissions!" The program includes water games, workshops on making natural mosquito repellents and glass ornaments, waste sorting training, evening shows, and a DJ set.
The event is open to all without prior reservation. For visitors who have booked campsite spots, a refund of up to 100% of the cost is provided in the form of local certificates (according to one source, a partial refund via local vouchers). The goal is to attract family visitors, extend their stay, and boost local spending.
