A Healing Travel Guide for Weary City People

Everyone needs healing.
A person cannot live with only wounds.
But the process of living is a series of wounds.
At work, at home, and at school, people bump into each other, cry, get hurt, and fall.
You can't avoid getting hurt.
What's important is the process of healing rather than the wound itself.
In it, we gain new immunity and also the nutrients that allow us to face further wounds with dignity.

It is natural that a weary nation is turning its attention to healing activities that soothe their wounded hearts.
The number of healing agriculture facilities nationwide has grown significantly since the pandemic, reaching 353, a whopping 50% increase over the past five years.
The number of healing forests that utilize forest resources to soothe the minds and bodies of citizens has increased to 48.
Recently, the healing industry is rapidly expanding with the emergence of marine healing facilities that utilize the sea to boost immunity.
