From May 5th to 8th, 2025, a South Korean delegation visited the Interalpin 2025, the world's leading trade fair for alpine technologies, held in Innsbruck, Austria. The delegation consisting of 11 persons was organized by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Seoul and included representatives from various South Korean ski resorts and experts from the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.
