While the Tourism Cluster of Oni lists 3 shops (NanArtOni, Edena crafting workshop, and Rugs from Racha), the shopping landscape in Oni reflects a modest offering, with one dedicated souvenir shop, EthnoOni. Visitors will also find a limited selection of locally crafted items, such as traditional textiles, handwoven crafts, and wooden crafts, available at local markets or curated by guesthouses, showcasing the community's artistic talents. Enhancing this aspect could involve initiatives to encourage local artisans, provide training on souvenir creation, and establish an artisan point of sale display nearby or within a tourist information center. Encouraging community engagement and collaboration among local craftsmen could further enrich the souvenir landscape, creating a more diverse and appealing shopping experience.
