[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The ambassadors residing in Korea who participated in the conference held by Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam to revitalize wellness culture and industry, repeatedly exclaimed "Wonderful Hamyang" as they toured Hamyang-gun's nature, culture, and tourism infrastructure.

According to the county, 16 officials including ambassadors from 9 countries attended the "Wellness Culture and Industry Conference" inviting ambassadors residing in Korea. Despite the tight schedule conducted in two sessions, they took time to visit the planned site for the Hamyang Expo, as well as natural, cultural, and tourism resources.

The ambassadors from various countries who visited Daebongsan Healing Valley, which will be used as the Expo's second venue, showed deep interest in the tourism facilities such as Korea's longest monorail (3.93 km) and zipline (3.27 km) amidst the beautiful nature.

They also rode the monorail to the summit of Daebongsan (1,254 m), enjoyed the ridges and the wide-open views including Jirisan Cheonwangbong Peak, and experienced the thrilling zipline.

Next, they personally harvested and tasted "Sansam," known as the king of immunity, and visited the local food market directly managed by the county to discuss the potential for agricultural product exports.

They also toured Gaepyeong Hanok Village, Namgye Seowon which is registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, Edison Motors, an eco-friendly electric bus manufacturer, and the site of Insan Bamboo Salt production.

The participating ambassadors said, "It is surprising that Hamyang has such excellent cultural tourism resources," and expressed their expectation that once COVID-19 stabilizes, Hamyang could become a world-class healing town. They also expressed their intention to operate booths to promote their countries at the Sansam Expo, creating an opportunity to elevate the status of the Sansam Expo as an international event.

The final experience location was Sangnim Park, the main stage of the 2021 Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo, where they previewed the upcoming Expo and enhanced their understanding of Korea's Sansam and the anti-aging industry.

After the event concluded, County Governor Seo said, "Although it was a short time, I hope it was a moment to feel spring and heal from the daily fatigue caused by COVID-19, following in-depth discussions on the wellness industry," and added, "I hope you will also introduce Hamyang to your home countries and compatriots residing in Korea."

Meanwhile, for the safety of the ambassadors participating in this conference, the Hamyang Police Station provided close protection, and the event was conducted while strictly adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines.
