Visitors created and shared a flood of photos and videos, producing results that exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0216\/image-889f179e-af05-4335-941f-85e277ab7ed1.jpeg\" alt><br \/>The challenge invited tourists to make and share their own content, turning simple visits into organic promotion and drawing attention as a participatory tourism model.<\/p>\n<p>Well-known sites such as Imbul Village in Namsang-myeon, Byeonggok Village in Buksang-myeon, and Yongwonjeong in Mari-myeon got great exposure. At the same time, spots like Ungyang-myeon\u2019s Ten-ri cherry blossom path and Hagaemyeong Village in Goje-myeon also gained visibility, reestablishing Geochang as a go-to destination for cherry-blossom photos. The campaign helped disperse visitor traffic that had previously been concentrated in a few places.<\/p>\n<p>The county rewarded every participant with a character keychain and a Geochang \u201cYear of Visits\u201d value-travel coupon book, and handed a Golden Apple Package to the five posts with the highest views to encourage participation. The content created will be used in future tourism promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Ok Jin-sook, head of the Tourism Promotion Division, said the project proved a small team can drive strong content production and sharing. She added that officials will expand seasonal, interactive content to accelerate Geochang\u2019s shift into a longer-stay destination.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Geochang County plans to build on this success to strengthen its reputation as a cherry-blossom sanctuary and to continue follow-up marketing aimed at attracting visitors year-round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geochang County&#8217;s &#8216;Travel Snap Challenge&#8217; successfully promoted tourism through social media during the cherry
