An Exploratory Study for Hahoe Village Tourism Storytelling using the Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori

Researchers have identified six key story resources from Hahoe Village, including the Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori (traditional mask dance), Hahoe World Mask Museum, and legendary figures like Hur Do-ryeong, which can transform tourism experiences into thematic journeys. By categorizing these elements into interactive 'courtyards'—such as Playground Courtyard, Legend Courtyard, and Gentry Courtyard—the study demonstrates how storytelling can enhance visitor engagement and position Hahoe Village as a thematic tourism destination. The approach involved literature reviews, field observations of performances, and content analysis, with peer validation ensuring rigor.
