To Japanese tourists who have a high interest in wellness, healing, beauty, and spas, they promoted Gyeongbuk’s wellness tourism resources and experience programs such as Yeongju National Forest Healing Center and Bonghwa National Baekdudaegan Arboretum, encouraging visits to Gyeongbuk wellness destinations.
