During the '2025 All That Travel' conference in Seoul, experts discussed strategies to combat rapid population decline and economic challenges in regional South Korea through enhanced tourism efforts. Notable initiatives include the BETTER里 project, which leverages startups and local tourism resources, and the 'K-Gastronomy Belt' which promotes unique Korean food cultures as tourism assets. Successful case studies like Yangyang's 'Surfy Beach' showcase the importance of combining local culture with tourists’ interests, achieving sustainable economic rejuvenation and growth. Efforts to globalize regional tourism products have been supported by partnerships with platforms like Trip.com, addressing promotion and accessibility challenges.
