An unusual experience event is being held where participants can catch loaches—the main ingredient of chueotang (spicy eel soup)—themselves and experience local culture.
Kwon Group (Chairman Jang Pyeong-soon) hotel chain Sweet Hotel Namwon announced on the 25th that it will operate a 'Loach Catching Experience Program' in the hotel's garden large open space on September 19.
This program is an experience content available to all men, women, and children of any age, designed for family guests to catch loaches—the main ingredient of chueotang—themselves, experience Namwon's regional characteristics, and create special memories.
The event will take place on September 19 at 5 p.m. in the garden large open space of Sweet Hotel Namwon. All hotel guests can participate for free by making a prior reservation. Participants will receive experience tools at the venue, go through simple warm-up exercises and an event briefing, and then join the loach catching experience.
At this year's event, Sweet Hotel Namwon will award a one-night stay in a deluxe room to participants who catch a golden loach. In addition, various awards and prizes have been prepared, including the 'Most Loaches Caught Award' given to the participant who catches the most loaches, as well as lucky draw prizes and participation awards.
Sweet Hotel Namwon is targeting demand for stay-type travel through diverse programs that highlight seasonal and regional characteristics this year, such as yoga classes, tea ceremony experiences, firefly night events, and corn harvesting experiences.
A Kwon Group official stated, "Going forward, we will provide differentiated accommodation experiences to guests through various experience-based content that highlights seasonal and regional characteristics."
