Busan to Operate 2025 First Half Marine Wellness Tourism Program

내용

The Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will operate the 2025 First Half Marine Wellness Tourism Program every Saturday and Sunday from May 17 to July 12 at seven beaches across Busan, Suyeonggang Naru Park, Amireu Park on Yeongdo, and the North Port Waterfront Park.

Now in its 5th year since its launch in 2021, the Marine Wellness Tourism Program has established itself as a signature wellness tourism event that links Busan’s marine resources with local culture.

This year’s first-half program will focus on four main wellness activities:

• ●Beach Yoga

• ●Sunset Pilates

• ●Sweat Beach

• ●Ocean Running

Beach Yoga will be held on weekend mornings at Gwangalli Beach, and

Sunset Pilates will take place during sunset hours, allowing participants to enjoy the beauty of nature while engaging in pilates.

New this year are:

• ●Sweat Beach, a high-intensity strength training program combining elements of CrossFit, step box, and circuit training, designed for fitness enthusiasts.

• ●Ocean Running, a unique running experience by the sea where participants can choose between slow-paced “slow running” or goal-oriented running.

Each main program has a participation fee of 10,000 KRW and is operated by advance reservation only. Sessions are small-scale (approximately 30 participants each) to ensure a more immersive experience.

Registration opens today (May 9) and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the official Marine Wellness Busan website (부산해양치유.kr).

Participants who register in advance between May 9 and May 16 will receive a 50% discount on the participation fee.

In addition to the main programs, two special events will be offered in June:

• ●Sound Walking (3 sessions)

• ●Yacht Retreat (2 sessions)

Sound Walking is a meditative program where participants walk through nature while using professional headsets and microphones to collect natural sounds and awaken inner senses.

Yacht Retreat is a marine wellness program held aboard a yacht, featuring sound therapy and singing bowl meditation, offering tranquility amid gentle rocking.

Details about advance reservation periods and participation fees for the special programs will be announced later on the Marine Wellness Busan website (부산해양치유.kr).
