Hamyang Sansam Expo Sets Daily Record for Visitors... 300,000th Entry Event Held

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo surpassed a total cumulative attendance of approximately 346,000 visitors as the daily record reached 47,000 visitors just 24 days after its opening.

According to the Expo Organizing Committee on the 5th, the Park Yang-seon family from Changwon visited the Expo over the weekend and became the lucky 300,000th visitor.

Park Yang-seon said, "I feel so happy to receive the unexpected gift of wild ginseng while going out with my family after a long time," adding, "With the clear weather, today seems like it will be a perfect day."

To celebrate the 300,000th visitor on this day, Seo Chun-soo, the Hamyang County Governor, and Kim Jong-soon, the Secretary-General, participated and personally presented a 10-year-old wild ginseng set and a bouquet, conveying their congratulations.

The Expo Organizing Committee announced that with the number of visitors exceeding approximately 346,000, they have achieved a total self-generated revenue of 2.8 billion KRW, including ticket sales and facility rental income.

First, the advance ticket sales conducted until the end of July reached about 270,000 tickets totaling 1.7 billion KRW, exceeding 80% of the advance booking target. This achievement can be seen as the result of active participation from nationwide city and county institutions, organizations, companies, hometown associations, financial institutions, and the inclusion of field trip budgets by the provincial education office, all reflecting the public’s wish for the successful hosting of the Expo.

The 2021 Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo achieved ticket revenue of 2.3 billion KRW including on-site sales until the 3rd. In addition, when including facility rental businesses such as the Industrial Exchange Hall and Wild Ginseng Specialty Products Hall, sponsorship projects, and the emblem project for 52 certified products, the total self-generated revenue reached 2.8 billion KRW, achieving the initial goal of 2.6 billion KRW ahead of schedule.

An official from the Organizing Committee stated, "During the remaining period of the Expo, group visits linked to school field trips and related events are planned, so we expect the Expo’s revenue to continue increasing."
