SEOUL, South Korea, July 25 (Korea Bizwire) – In light of this year’s summer vacation, the Rural Development Administration (RDA) introduces ‘Rural Tourist Homes in Farming Areas’ as a place where people can come with their family, friends, and lovers to relax their body and minds.
These tourist homes are not just places to stay overnight. They have various places to sightsee nearby with valleys, seaside, and mountains, while offering numerous outdoor activities such as enjoying mud flats, experiencing traditional food, and farming that are only available in the countryside.
A wide range of options are available to the public all around the country, all with their own unique programs and activities as well as healthy local foods that showcase the beauty, serenity and taste indigenous to each region.
Most ‘Rural Tourist Homes in Farming Areas’ are run on a reservation basis, and reservations must be made by phone before visit. Kim Eun-mi, team leader of the technical assistance team at the RDA says, “People will be able to heal their body and minds with a vacation to the countryside by enjoying the beautiful scenery, fun activities, and healthy foods provided at one of the many ‘Rural Tourist Homes in Farming Areas’ around the country.”
