For this reason, large domestic shipping companies are drooling over national cruises. Moreover, if Koreans are allowed to enter on-board casinos, they will be able to board and use casinos at Incheon, Busan, and Jeju, which will be the home port of the cruise, so accessibility will be very good. Eventually, the national cruise business is expected to become a "goose that lays golden eggs." Minister Yoo Ki-jun stressed, "Since each cruise tourist spends about $1,000, it has the same added value as handling 10 containers." If 3 million people use it, an economic inducement effect of more than 3 trillion won per year occurs. Moreover, if Koreans are allowed to enter the on-board casino, the economic effect is estimated to exceed at least 4 trillion won.

Yeongcheon City introduced the city brand 'Sky Run Yeongcheon' to build the image of the best horse industry city in the inland and raise awareness. The 'Sky Run', which is driven by the Yeongcheon godmother carrying dreams and hopes, expresses the hometown of horses, the city of stars, and the urban vision of the aviation industry. In addition, in October, the Korean Culture Month event presided over by the Joseon News Agency and Ma Sang-jae will be held for the first time in North Gyeongsang Province to promote Yeongcheon, the city of horses. The Joseon News Agency, a diplomatic and cultural mission of Joseon, sent a news agency to Japan 12 times in over 200 years, 11 of which passed Yeongcheon. Yeongcheon is the only place in the country where the Gyeongsang auditor gave a farewell banquet to the news agency and performed Ma Sang-jae on behalf of the king, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan.

Yeongcheon City announced that it will complete the base horse-riding center selected for the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's public offering project in 2013 and start a two-month trial operation from the 13th of this month before normal operation in September this year.

Social organizations in Sabuk-eup, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon Province, are seeking to attract over-the-counter sales centers. About 30 members of local community organizations, including the Sabuk Prosperity Association in Sabuk-eup, held a committee meeting at the Sabuk Welfare Center on March 31 to discuss ways to attract over-the-counter sales centers in horse racing, bicycle racing, and correctional facilities. The committee also appointed Nam Kyung-moon, provincial councilor Cha Cha-young, and Sabuk-eup Prosperity Chairman Jeong Hae-ryong as its co-chairmen. The committee agreed that attracting over-the-counter sales centers will enable the government to secure additional floating populations in connection with Gangwon Land casinos and help revitalize the local economy. The committee agreed that as the Special Act on Support for the Development of Abandoned Mine Areas will end in 2025, it cannot guarantee the economic revival of the abandoned mine area only with a single project of Gangwon Land.

There are also strong criticisms against the ministry's push to use casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry has selected the development of cruise and marina industries as a core task of the ministry since 2013, and has been particularly obsessed with open casinos on board. However, the ministry buried it under the surface due to the Ferry Sewol disaster last year, but quickly brought it back when it passed a Cabinet meeting, including a decision to salvage the ship and an enforcement ordinance of the Special Sewol Act. In addition, critics say that when the "Act on the Promotion and Support of the Cruise Industry," which allowed on-board cruises, was reviewed by the National Assembly, he promised to "strictly restrict domestic access" but reversed his position just three months later when the law passed the National Assembly in February this year.

Yeongcheon Mayor Kim Young-seok said, "We will make Yeongcheon an international horse-riding industrial city by converging Yeongcheon's own horse-riding culture software with hardware such as Let's Run Park Yeongcheon, Unjusan Horse Riding Center, and the base horse-riding center." Under the Horse Industry Promotion Act, operators who started operating private horse-riding courses or rural horse-riding courses are happy with lawmaker Kim Woo-nam's proposal for an amendment. In the case of other sports facilities, while the law on the succession of business following inheritance or transfer was clear, there were no regulations on horse-riding facilities. Meanwhile, operators of horse-riding facilities further point out that it is necessary to quickly revise conflicting laws such as the Horse Industry Promotion Act, Posting Act, and Farmland Act, which have been pointed out several times.

It plans to promote the creation of old streets, alleyway maintenance, youth small performance halls, small parks, and building up in Maljuk Street in Wansan-dong, where late-stage culture was flourishing in the past, and develop it as a tourism resource by linking Let's Run Park Yeongcheon, Unjusan Horse Racing Center, and Yeongcheon Public Market.

It is true that the record has slowed down a bit, but it is not a big difference. The introduction of the rating did not increase the burden weight. "Some point out that the winning horse did not do its best in some races, but we take it into account when granting the rating," he said. "It is true that the number of promotion horses has decreased significantly since the introduction of the rating, which could cause difficulties in organizing the race due to the imbalance between the grades." In the past, promotions due to prize money were compulsory even if they were not capable, but horses that were not eligible for promotion are not promoted due to the introduction of ratings. In addition, because the number of cull heads decreased during the same period, the number of heads used by each grade was consistently maintained. I am well aware of the concerns of related organizations.

In particular, since horse racing, race racing, and racing are held on different days of the week, the three events should be held together to complement each other. The committee visited over-the-counter sales offices in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, and Cheonan City in South Chungcheong Province on April 3 following a tour last month of over-the-counter sales offices in the Seoul metropolitan area. It plans to collect residents' opinions through public hearings and win consent from Jeongseon County and the county council by the end of July, the deadline for filing applications.Nam Kyung-moon, a provincial councilor, said, "With the casino, the image of a gambling city has been solidified, but it would be better to attract horse racing, bicycle racing, and police officers to specialize," adding, "Many residents agree." Nam also stressed, "How dare we try to attract such a speculative industry," adding, "The damage to residents is expected, but there will be more to gain."

You can build a part of the massage there so that Jeju horses can join the company, receive training, and receive training in the state before coming. For farmers who are not well-equipped, the Jeju Horse Producers Association has secured a certain amount of provincial funds and operates the Seongeup Jongso. The facilities are being renovated. A mid- to long-term roadmap has been established, but there must be infrastructure in order to implement the criteria for joining the company according to the process. Of course, it is not just about building infrastructure and drawing. The province, horse racing society, and associations are running hard in different fields. Customers who participate in the Love Red Horse Racing are fixed, so sales are constant, but sales are expected to increase by securing a new customer base

Four farms with facilities and motivation were designated among the producers. I selected 24 from four farms and they are actually training them according to the manual.Jeju Hanra University, which produced the training manual, and officials from the pilot farm meet once a month to show results and refine the manual for difficulties. After some time, words made according to the manual come out. It tracks the data and compares the horses that have been trained by the pilot farm with other horses according to their age. It will track and announce how early the race will be and how the grades will be after the race. Knowing that it will work for other farms, they expect it to spread quickly.

Therefore, I think the drifting project should be transformed into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market. In particular, it is judged that the construction of a large horse racing stadium is the most important. There needs to be a horse-riding stadium to hold horse-riding competitions for a long time there, and through the competition, everything such as domestic horse production, sales, feed, and janggu can be sold and activated. I think that's how the business can be unified. In addition, it would be nice if more such 'Mayon-a-horse' and international competitions were held. Of course, it is a sport. Horse-riding is an official Olympic sport. The part about Jeong Yu-ra, which has recently been a problem, is also negatively involved in politics.

Last year, it was held at the grass ranch and this year at the Sonopelice Equestrian Club. It is true that he was not able to provide the best environment for horses because he wanted to promote and show Sonopelice Horseback Riding Club to the public, and he was uncomfortable with the practice horse race last year. This year, he played at a dedicated stadium so that horses could play in their best condition. The grass was not pretty and stylish, but the competition was held at a dedicated stadium, and the competition was focused and compact, which received good reviews from foreign players. Horse Auction is a policy project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In line with this, Daemyung added an auction part.

Compared to baseball, which has become a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze seen at the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding would not be long, and it was the driving force behind the hosting of 'Mayon A Horse 2017'. In the future, Daemyung Group will continue to take the lead in popularizing horseback riding by combining various cultures and horseback riding that the public likes. It is true that the horseback riding world briefly slowed down due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the fact that horse riding students think of it as a means to go to college.

Among them, Kim Hong-chul, a former coach of the national equestrian team, is a key figure. Even during the Daemyung Cup, he did not leave the site for three days, and even showed his passion to explain the obstacle course to the visitors who visited the stadium. I met Kim Hong-chul, who has a special affection for horse-riding, and talked about "Mayon-a-horse" and horseback riding. The "Mayon-a-horse" started with the hope of raising public interest in horse-riding, a healing sport. In particular, the "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horse-riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to it, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it.

Since I was a child, exercising has made me far from studying. Although practical skills are important to become a horseracing jockey, educational institutions provide theoretical knowledge. The theoretical knowledge and practical skills accumulated at school are combined to be reflected in the race. Since academic background is proof that I have studied, I am preparing for future dreams. And in the future, I want to be a father who is not ashamed of my children. I am in the second grade this year, and I was worried that I was older than my classmates, but my classmates followed me well, making my school life enjoyable. It teaches me knowledge about horses that I know. Based on my experience working at the horserace, I teach him about horseback riding and I am currently teaching him about horse racing as a horse rider.

Even now, I cannot run at full speed. Currently, it has no significant impact on racing, but it did at the time. Although my ankle was swollen due to ligament tear and fracture, he said there was a bruise because he wanted to keep riding horses for the race. He limped and tried to ride at least one more. He was not cured properly at that time, and now there are some aftereffects. He is not weighing much compared to other jockeys, and he is not controlling his weight separately. He eats well and is exercising regularly. I go to the gym and focus on my muscles. Also, I am riding high to maintain a stable posture on horseback during racing. Fencing from an early age has been of great help to horse racing. Since fencing requires a lot of lower body strength and quickness, I used to do a lot of lower body exercises.

Of course. The horse racing industry is a distinct sector of the gambling industry, such as cycling and casinos. Horse racing is clearly distinguished from the general gambling industry because it is included in the horse industry and the national infrastructure is established. It is clear that if horse racing is activated by increasing the rate of refund of horse racing and resuming the sale of Internet betting tickets, which has been blocked since 2009, the horse racing industry will naturally be activated. I hope many horse racing fans will be interested. 150,000 horse racing enthusiasts must also pay a lot of attention to it, otherwise it will be impossible to realize it. We ask that you actively participate and pay attention to find the minimum rights of horse racing fans.

We hope you will give a lot of support and interest to improve the Korean horse racing environment. Also, we hope that the state and horse racing society will pay attention to improve welfare and human rights issues for horse racing officials, especially managers. We horse racing people have many wishes. They attended to convey the wishes of several horse racing people, including a substantial reduction in murderous taxes of more than 50% among the 49 professional horse racing countries in the world and the resurgence of Internet betting. The two main purposes of the signing by horse racing people in Busan were the revival of Internet betting and the reduction of horse racing-related taxes. I came here on behalf of one of the horse racing people and one of the executives of the expert association.

However, in fact, there are quite a few people who enjoy horse racing as a leisure in our lives. If the horse racing environment and culture are improved so that horse racing can be enjoyed as a leisure, and the horse racing industry is revitalized through this, the horse industry will also be revitalized. I think the revitalization of the horse industry will also be of great help to our society. First of all, I think it would be great if the next government could listen to the demands of horse racing fans and reflect them in legislation. Many people, including horse racing fans, signed their names, and I hope that the next government will make horse racing a leisure time with the will of those who signed it. Above all, I hope that the day will come when we can resolve the negative image of horse racing and enjoy it as a leisure.

This is not the case. Horse racing is a sport that can be enjoyed as a leisure time. This opportunity was brought today to improve the negative image of horse racing, which is perceived by people as gambling, even though horse racing can be fully enjoyed as a leisure. In addition, it is to create a forum for public debate about tax issues that are disadvantageous to our horse racing fans and the reintroduction of online ticket sales. I quit the online ticket sale in 2009, but I thought that such a forum would be necessary to implement the online ticket sale again. The submitted data included an increase in the horse racing refund rate, an improvement in excessive horse racing taxes, and a call for the reissue of online ticket sales.

What is unfortunate is that it should have been agreed upon, policies were prepared, the association operated properly, and policy subsidies were received, but two years were passed due to internal strife. It also failed to win the national project. As a result, it is becoming a burden to convert Hallama into a horseback riding. However, I will continue to help. In the case of Jeju Island, soon there will be a site within the Chukjinwon and a training center for horseback riding in Seogwipo. If these facilities are utilized well, it seems that Hallama can settle down as a horseback riding. Due to the habit of running, it is highly risky to kill a racehorse as a horseback riding. The number of Hallama running races keeps decreasing. It can be produced as a horseback riding and then reduced to a horse riding from the beginning.
