Agoda Highlights Domestic ‘Screen Tourism’ Destinations Amidst the K-Content Craze discoverynews.kr/news/articleVi… As K-pop, K-dramas, and K-movies gain attention in the global market, ‘Screen Tourism,’ which involves visiting actual filming locations featured in content, is emerging as a new travel trend. Digital travel platform Agoda analyzed and released data on major regions that are attracting the interest of domestic and international tourists by appearing as the backdrops for various works. ■ Yesan The Yesan region saw a 35% increase in accommodation searches compared to the same period last year. This is attributed to the public awareness of Salmokji Reservoir, which served as the backdrop for the recently released horror film *Salmokji*. Since the movie's release, there has been a growing trend of visitors visiting the site and sharing their experiences on social media. ■ Suwon Suwon, which has served as a filming location for K-dramas across various genres such as *Our Beloved Summer*, *Lovely Runner*, and *Extraordinary Attorney Woo*, saw a 21% increase in accommodation searches compared to the same period last year. With its coexistence of historical heritage and modern urban aesthetics, it has established itself as a major destination for drama fans. ■ Jangheung Jangheung, home to the former Jeonnam Jangheung Prison—the only actual prison filming location in Korea—saw an 18% increase in accommodation search volume. Due to its unique spatial characteristics, this location continues to be utilized as a backdrop for various works, including *Surely Tomorrow*, *The Price of Confession*, *No Tail To Tell*, and *The Manipulated*. #KimHyeYoon #살목지 #Salmokji (Note: I only translated hyeyoon-related parts)
