One year since the opening of Bucheon Luminarae Dohwamong... Increased number of tourists and vibrant local businesses

It was found that 'Bucheon Luminarae Peach Blossom Dream', a nighttime media theme park in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, led to an increase in tourists and revitalized local commercial districts in the year after opening.

According to Bucheon City on the 14th, Luminare Dohwamong opened on October 31 last year in the form of 12 themed sections on a 1.5km forest road at Bucheon Natural Ecological Park in Chunui-dong, Wonmi-gu.

In the year since Dohwamong opened, the number of visitors reached 61,295.

The total number of visitors to Bucheon Natural Ecological Park was 508,140, ​​a 19.7% increase from 424,440 in the previous year.

Dohwamong appears to be contributing to the revitalization of the local economy by refunding part of the admission fee into Bucheon Love Gift Certificates that can be used at over 3,000 affiliated stores, including traditional markets and alley commercial districts.

Of the 12,000 won admission fee for adults, Bucheon citizens receive 6,000 won, and visitors from other regions receive 3,000 won. The refund amount for one year after opening is 221.61 million won.

Bucheon City believes that the consumption of Dohwamong visitors is not limited to viewing but also extends to local commercial districts.

Luminarae Peach Blossom Dream is inspired by Bucheon's old name 'Boksagol' and tells the story of how fluttering peach blossoms create seasons and weather in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Visitors can walk the forest path for 90 minutes and experience 12 different weather changes with their five senses, including rainbows, moonlit nights, thunder, aurora, and the Milky Way.

Bucheon Mayor Cho Yong-ik said, "Dohwamong is a resting place that citizens can enjoy near their daily lives, and a space where visitors from other regions can stay and consume in Bucheon. We will make it not just a night lighting facility, but a content that connects cultural tourism and the local economy."
