Travel platform MyRealTrip has partnered with Gumi City to run a 'Gumi Travel Promotion' that connects local festivals and tourism until November 30.
The promotion, themed 'Reasons to Visit Gumi in November,' is designed to coincide with the upcoming '2026 Gumi Ramen Festival.' It aims to enhance visitor convenience by providing a comprehensive overview of Gumi's diverse culinary offerings, tourist attractions, and tailored accommodation options centered around major local food festivals.
This year's Gumi Ramen Festival will take place from November 6 to 8 near Gumi Station. A city-style 'Ramen Street' will be established, leading directly from the station to the festival grounds, which will have free admission. Attendees can enjoy specialized content featuring freshly produced ramen from the Nongshim Gumi factory, as well as unique ramen dishes from local restaurants that have passed pre-event evaluations.
The festival has gained attention as part of the 'K-Food Festa,' a promotional initiative by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs that highlights 20 major food festivals across the country during October and November.
Recently, the food and beverage industry has been actively collaborating with local culinary festivals. The '2026 Daegu Tteokbokki Festival' will feature Sprite as an official sponsor, while the '2026 Gimcheon Gimbap Festival' plans to launch winning dishes from its competition as actual products.
The MyRealTrip promotion page will not only provide festival information but also detail local food streets, such as the 1.5-kilometer 'Songjeong Food Street.' Additionally, it will offer information on popular tourist activities in Gumi, including the Geumo Mountain Monorail, Zip Coaster, and Tree Tower, as well as nearby accommodation options to facilitate extended stays beyond day trips.
MyRealTrip continues to expand its promotional efforts tailored to the unique tourism content of each local government. Previously, it collaborated with Gangneung City, Gongju City, and the Chungnam Cultural Tourism Foundation to showcase tourism promotions, and it is currently running a 'Bread Discount' festival in conjunction with the Daejeon Bread Festival until the 18th.
A MyRealTrip representative stated, "Local festivals are a great opportunity for travelers to choose their destinations. We will continue to present initiatives that connect festivals and travel in collaboration with local governments, encouraging visitors to stay an extra day in the area."
