[Background]

The "Healing Tourism" sector utilizes a wide range of resources (scenery, hot springs, food, etc.). Because many of these businesses do not fall under traditional "tourism businesses" (like hotels or travel agencies), the government aims to establish registration standards for facilities, experts, and programs to ensure service quality and user safety.

[Main Points]

○ Business Categories: Healing tourism businesses will be classified into "Healing Tourism Service Business" and "Healing Tourism Facility Business."

○ Registration Requirements:

- Service Business: Must operate at least one specialized healing program and employ at least one person who has completed a specialized training course.

- Facility Business: Must be a registered accommodation (hotel, pension, etc.) under the Tourism Promotion Act, operate at least two specialized programs, and employ at least one trained specialist.

○ Change of Registration: Any changes to the representative, address, or location must be officially registered.
