On the first day, the 2nd, they visited Jwagusan Natural Recreation Forest in Jecheon, toured the facilities, and exchanged opinions with officials regarding operations.

Next, they participated directly in a wellness tourism program at the 'Deep Mountain Ongdalsem' Forest Healing Center located in No-on-myeon, Chungju City, to benchmark healing tourism management.

In Jecheon County, they experienced the herbal foot bath and medicinal tea making at 'Bonchodadam,' a healing experience facility using herbal medicine, and received explanations about the healing tourism agriculture promoted by Jecheon County.

Kim Byung-guk (representative of Yadong Healing Rural Village, Ganjeon-myeon), who participated in the visit, said, "I did not know that healing agricultural tourism was being carried out so diversely in various fields," and added, "I deeply felt the need for more interest and study."

Director Jo Nam-hoon said, "I hope this opportunity will be of great help to the healing agricultural tourism sector that Gurye-gun is promoting," and added, "We will strive to research and discover more diverse programs to support the members' project promotion."
