In addition, they enjoyed culinary tourism by tasting Chuncheon's signature dish, dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken).

Choi Sunghyun, CEO of the Gangwon Tourism Organization, stated, "This year, we have taken the lead in operating programs that combine sports and tourism as part of our sports tourism initiatives," adding, "We will continue to develop tourism programs that link sports and tourism in the future."

On December 6, a sports tourism program will be operated for a sports exchange group from Tottori Prefecture.
