Muan, Jeollanam-do—In a bid to cater to the growing number of “Pet-Fam” (Pet+Family) travelers, the Jeollanam-do Provincial Government has launched a series of special tour packages under its “Namdo Hanbakkwi” (A Round Trip of Namdo) program. These tours, utilizing circulating buses, are specifically designed to allow passengers to travel and explore the region's scenic spots with their companion dogs.
The special pet-friendly program features both one-day trips and two-day, one-night packages throughout November. The day trips are scheduled for four occasions over the weekends in November and include attractive itineraries showcasing the region's natural beauty and landmarks.
Four Exclusive Day-Trip Courses with Pets
The four distinct day-trip itineraries are structured as follows, offering a mix of historical, natural, and modern attractions:
November 14 (Saturday): Gokseong, exploring the Seomjingang Train Village Fairy Tale Garden and Dorimsa Temple.
