The country’s selected traditional breweries have emerged as a new pillar of the government’s efforts to promote domestic tourism.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs on Thursday unveiled a list of 69 traditional liquor makers nationwide, offering a range of products from soju and makgeolli to wine and liqueurs.
The ministry said the initiative goes beyond simply introducing the breweries, as it aims to promote regional economies by highlighting local tourist attractions near the selected venues.
Alongside the brewery list, the ministry released a separate guide organized by province, featuring local heritage sites, signature dishes, specialty agricultural products and recommended transportation options for visitors.
