First Operation from 16th to 19th Sold Out with High Satisfaction, Offering Enriching Programs at Gaepyeong Village and Namgye Seowon
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The ‘Travel Like Everyday, Hamyang On Day’ program, which allows participants to stay for 3 nights and 4 days at accommodation facilities in the Hamyang area of Gyeongnam while experiencing local culture and history, has taken a successful first step.
The Hamyang On Day program, held from the 16th to the 19th, is part of this year’s Living Tourism Activation Project selected by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism last year. With 32 participants recruited per session, the program was fully booked from the first operation, and key programs were conducted around Gaepyeong Village, Namgye Seowon, and the Seonbi Culture Exploration Trail.
Hamyang On Day operates programs such as making Solsongju (pine needle liquor), Gaepyeong gravel hangwa (traditional Korean sweets), Nocham Pan’s red pepper paste, walking the Seonbi Culture Exploration Trail, wild ginseng harvesting, dasik (tea cookies), pressed flower art, and Namgye and Gaepyeong story programs, which were difficult for tourists who usually visit Hamyang individually to experience. Participants freely enjoy the programs they want to join, choosing from mandatory and optional activities.
A participant from Gyeonggi Province said, “In the midst of a busy daily life, I was happy to feel the traditional charm while enjoying leisure time and recharging energy at the neatly arranged Hanok accommodation facilities. I felt lucky to participate in this program that satisfied both cost-effectiveness and emotional satisfaction. If I have the chance, I want to visit Hamyang again.”
Overall showing high participant satisfaction, ‘Hamyang On Day’ will be held 14 times until November. Reservations and detailed information can be found on the online homepage ‘Hamyang On Day.’
