Swiss village cashes in as tourists pay to visit dock featured in hit K-drama ‘Crash Landing On You’

SWITZERLAND, JUL 8 – The village charges an entrance fee to view the dock that appeared in the popular Korean drama, attracting fans and boosting local tourism revenue.

  • In 2023, the Swiss village of Iseltwald installed a pay-for-entry turnstile at the lakeside dock featured in the 2020 Netflix series Crash Landing On You.
  • The turnstile was installed to help cover local government expenses following a rise in visitors attracted by the show's depiction of the dock as a scenic and intimate destination.
  • About 1,000 visitors arrive daily by bus and car, snapping photos and increasing strain on village resources despite limited hotels and restaurants.
  • In 2024, visitor fees generated close to 245,000 Swiss francs , with the majority of the revenue allocated to upkeep and maintenance, as officials emphasized that the local community does not become wealthy from these funds.
  • The village relies on tourism income for upkeep but faces challenges like visitor misuse of private property and limited infrastructure amid sustained tourist interest.
