Gyeonggi links camper camping and DMZ to attract foreign tourists
Original source: 이트레블뉴스

In Brief

Gyeonggi signed an MOU with Minican Camping & Mobility to create packages combining camper rental, Pyeonghwa Nuri camping, and DMZ visits. The aim is to attract independent tourists, who make up 80.1% of foreign visitors.

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization signed a memorandum of understanding with Minican Camping & Mobility (in another source: Minican Camp & Mobility) to develop tourism products combining camper rental, stays at Pyeonghwa Nuri Camping Site, and visits to the DMZ. The agreement was signed on August 28 at Pyeonghwa Nuri Camping Site in Paju.

The packages target foreign independent travelers, who account for 80.1% of all foreign visitors to South Korea (according to the Korea Culture & Tourism Institute, 2025). They include at least one night's stay at the campsite and visits to at least one DMZ attraction, with optional two-night variants. Last year, the campsite hosted about 1,600 foreign tourists. Pyeonghwa Nuri Camping Site, managed by the corporation since April 2024, ranks first in search queries among campsites in South Korea. Sales will be made through 60 global online travel agencies, including GetYourGuide, Klook, and Viator. The initiative aims to boost tourism in northern Gyeonggi and encourage longer stays. The new product allows foreign tourists to rent a camper, stay at the campsite, and freely travel around northern Gyeonggi, unlike group tours with fixed itineraries.
