KORAIL Jeonnam Headquarters announced on the 25th that it received a commendation from Boseong County in recognition of its contribution to revitalizing the local economy.

The headquarters contributed to promoting Boseong's major tourist attractions, such as the Boseong Green Tea Fields and Deungnyang Station, and boosting tourism by operating local railway travel packages.

In particular, during the "Deungnyang Station Memory Lane Cultural Festival," a local festival reopened after seven years, the headquarters promoted the event, developed train travel packages, and attracted special group tours in connection with trains, resulting in more than four times as many visitors compared to last year during the festival period.

Additionally, during holiday customer welcome events, the headquarters collaborated with Boseong County to hold cultural and artistic performances at Boseong Station, and carried out projects to improve the environment for local residents and tourists using the train, such as installing rain shelters at the Boseong Station taxi stand.

Kim Jintae, head of KORAIL Jeonnam Headquarters, stated, "We will strengthen cooperation with local governments to revitalize tourism in areas with declining populations and take the lead in boosting local tourism together with residents and tourists."
