First, go on a trip to a population-declining region 2. Collect the receipts you used 3. Apply through each region's online platform 4. Receive a local love gift certificate 5. Use the local love gift certificate (local currency) you received to buy something delicious to eat or shop at a traditional market. 😁 🚩 It used to be eligible regions before, and I think this year it'll be similar or maybe some will be added.

Based on my experience, within the campground there are not just the outdoor deck areas, but also pension-style private lodging like cabins. I wanted to know if those can be registered as lodging businesses too. You should really check with the local government when you're starting the event. I had participated in an event hosted by Chungju City before, and I got to visit Chungju. I stayed at a pension in the campground, picked apples with an apple-picking experience ticket and brought home a big bunch, and also enjoyed drinks at some great restaurants and cafes. I toured attractions like Hwalok Cave and had a blast, and by submitting things like admission fee receipts, you can also get travel expenses back. I got 150,000 won per person before — back then it was an event that gave up to 150,000 won per person. Basically it's travel first, then claim afterward~^^ A detailed schedule notice hasn't gone up yet, but I think it'll be posted soon, so please keep an eye on the local government website notices~ The budget might run out early, so be quick. After visiting other regions too, word got around before we knew it, and there was a time it ended early because of that.
