[2026 Korea Public Data Tourism API Contest entry — built on Public Data Portal (data.go.kr) tourism OpenAPI]
HiddenGem reveals Korea's quieter, lesser-known tourist spots. We combine regional visitor big data (DataLabService) with per-spot capacity estimates to compute a 'hidden score' — high satisfaction, low crowds.
• Curated low-crowd picks across all 17 regions
• Map view with quiet spots near you
• Community of travelers sharing real finds
• Multilingual: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified)
• Privacy-first: no ad trackers, your data stays yours
Powered by Tourism OpenAPI 4.0 (data.go.kr) + DataLabService big data.
Less known, more rewarding.
