Korea Forest Welfare Institute: "How About a Forest Trip by Train?"

The Korea Forest Welfare Institute announced on the 22nd that it will operate the '2023 Forest Travel Along the Railway' tourism product in collaboration with Korail Tourism Development from next month 5th to November 11th.

This product was planned by linking forest and tourism resources in depopulated areas with trains. The purpose of the plan is to provide travelers with a fulfilling forest travel experience and to attract tourists to depopulated areas to revitalize the local economy.

The travel course consists of a one-day itinerary connecting premium forests, barrier-free sharing trails, and other forest resources adjacent to depopulated areas with local tourist attractions.

The detailed courses are ▲ Gapyeong Jat Hyanggi Green Forest ~ Ihwawon ▲ Yesan Deoksan Barrier-Free Sharing Trail ~ Sadang Chung-uisa (for vulnerable groups) ▲ Buan Julpoman Tidal Flat Ecological Park ~ Chaeseokgang ▲ Seocheon Heirisan Natural Recreation Forest ~ Sinseong-ri Reed Field (for the general public).

For more detailed information about the tourism product, please check the websites of the Forest Welfare Institute or Korail Tourism Development.

Nam Taeheon, Director of the Forest Welfare Institute, said, “We hope that the forest travel product will enhance the satisfaction of the public’s leisure activities while contributing to regional development and residents’ income,” and added, “The Forest Welfare Institute will continue to develop various forest travel products linked with local areas to revitalize the local economy in depopulated areas and to address blind spots in forest welfare.”
