[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the morning of the 1st, Kim Yong-su, head of the Korail Daejeon·Chungcheong Headquarters, along with three related officials, visited Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, and held a meeting with County Governor Seo Chun-soo to discuss ways to revitalize the rural experience train travel "Nongttureil," reflecting the COVID-19 era.

On this day, Head Kim Yong-su stated, "Since last year, the operation of the product was temporarily halted due to COVID-19, but thanks to the efforts of both organizations prioritizing COVID-19 prevention and tourist safety from the start to the end of the trip by adhering to quarantine and safety guidelines, we were able to achieve good results last year as well."

In response, Governor Seo said, "Nongttureil is a link between rural and urban areas where people can enjoy Hamyang's pristine natural environment, local traditional food, and rural experiences. It is also a plan to support struggling rural areas and rural tourism businesses, so we will strive to develop programs that overcome COVID-19 and further revitalize it." He added, "I hope many city residents visit Hamyang during the remaining Expo period to feel healing, vitality, and enjoyment."

After the meeting, Korail officials toured various sites of the 2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo, including the Expo's first venue, the Wild Ginseng Theme Hall.

Meanwhile, the county has been monitoring the COVID-19 situation since the beginning of the year and preparing programs internally and with related organizations, and plans to officially launch the "Nongttureil" train travel from October.
