Table of Contents

Seoul – In a decisive win for community-led rural tourism, Uiseong-gun was named an excellent local government in the local resources interpretation category at the 2025 Rural Creation Tour Results Sharing Meeting. The ceremony took place at a major Seoul venue on December 15.

Organizers credited the award to Uiseong-gun’s ability to turn its rural assets into compelling, story-driven experiences, moving beyond visitor counts to meaningful engagement with local resources.

How Uiseong-Gun Reimagined Rural Tourism

The county expanded rural tourism from simple “experiences” to interpretive storytelling and relationship-building. It launched the Crea Tour program, uniting eight village areas through the rural Experience Recreation Village Council and backed by a 250 million won government grant.

Between the initiative’s start and the award,703 people participated in the rural travel product across 38 sessions. Notably, the emphasis was on content: each village’s history, landscape and living culture was woven into a cohesive narrative under the brand “Be sure to walk slowly, Uiseong Onsaemiro.”

Officials say the approach attracted new visitor segments, including foreign travelers, pet-friendly families, and households with children, by fostering ongoing, village-led relationships rather than one-off activities.

kim Joo-soo, the mayor, described Uiseong’s rural area as a “slow but deep asset” and pledged continued support for differentiated rural tourism grounded in local resources.

Evergreen Insights: A Blueprint for Lasting Rural Tourism

Experts see Uiseong’s model as part of a broader shift toward sustainable rural tourism that prioritizes interpretation,resident-led hosting,and long-term relationship-building. This approach aligns with global best practices in community-based advancement and sustainable tourism.

By combining administrative policy support, planning expertise from travel partners, and hands-on execution by local councils, uiseong demonstrates how rural areas can attract diverse audiences without compromising local character.For readers and policymakers, the case underscores a path for turning rural assets into enduring cultural and economic assets.

For broader context on slow and rural tourism, see international perspectives from organizations such as the United Nations World Tourism Institution and OECD’s work on rural development.

Primary takeaway: shift focus from “how much has been traveled” to “what has been left behind” and how communities, with residents at the helm, can sustain a vibrant rural tourism ecosystem.

why platforms are getting worse

by James Carter Senior News Editor
written by James Carter Senior News Editor

Digital ‘Enshittification’: Tech Giants Accused of Ruining the Internet

Breaking News: The internet as we know it is undergoing a disturbing transformation, and the term “enshittification” – yes, you read that right – is going viral to describe it. From relentless ads and irrelevant content to privacy invasions and useless AI chatbots, major platforms are facing a growing backlash as users report a dramatically worsening experience. This isn’t just complaining; it’s a recognized pattern, and it’s happening fast. This is a Google News alert you need to read.

What is ‘Enshittification’?

Coined by journalist and science fiction author Cory Doctorow, “enshittification” describes a three-stage cycle of platform decline. First, platforms attract users with a good experience. Second, they prioritize the needs of businesses, often through intrusive advertising and data harvesting, degrading the user experience. Finally, they squeeze both users and businesses to maximize profits for shareholders. Doctorow’s new essay, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It (Verso Books, 2025), dives deep into this phenomenon, which the American Dialect Society named its Word of the Year for 2023.

The Three Stages of Decline

  • Stage 1: User Delight: Attracting users with a valuable and enjoyable service.
  • Stage 2: Business Prioritization: Shifting focus to revenue generation through advertising, data tracking, and other business-friendly practices, often at the expense of user experience.
  • Stage 3: Shareholder Maximization: Extracting maximum profit, even if it means further degrading the service for both users and businesses.

Beyond Tech: A Widespread Problem

This isn’t limited to Silicon Valley. Doctorow warns that “enshittification” is spreading to other sectors, including food, transportation, and pharmaceuticals. The core issue? Unchecked monopolies and a financial system that prioritizes short-term gains over long-term value. Think about the increasing frustration with airline baggage fees, shrinking grocery sizes for the same price, or the rising cost of prescription drugs – the same principles are at play.

The ‘Seven Magnificents’ and the Failure of Regulation

Companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla – dubbed the “Seven Magnificents” – wield unprecedented corporate power. Doctorow argues that current regulatory efforts are failing because these companies are often larger and wealthier than the agencies tasked with overseeing them. They can afford to fight regulations in court for years, effectively stalling any meaningful change. The return of Donald Trump to the political landscape is seen as a setback for regulation, further emboldening these tech giants.

A Glimmer of Hope: Wikipedia and the EU’s Digital Markets Act

Is any platform immune? Doctorow points to Wikipedia as a rare example of a resilient platform. Its community-driven model and accountability mechanisms force constant improvement. In Europe, the Digital Markets Act aims to break down “walled gardens” by allowing users to easily transfer their data between platforms. This interoperability is crucial, as it reduces user lock-in and empowers individuals to choose services that prioritize their needs.

A Radical Solution: Reclaiming Control Through Open Source

Doctorow proposes a more radical solution: revoking the US law that prohibits reverse engineering. This would allow developers to dissect the algorithms of platforms like Instagram and TikTok and create alternative, more user-friendly versions. Europe could lead the way by developing these tools and exporting them globally, offering a viable alternative to the dominance of “Big Tech.” This is a crucial step for SEO and digital independence.

The situation is urgent. As Doctorow emphasizes, the current trajectory threatens not just our online experience, but the foundations of a healthy democracy. The fight for a better internet is a fight for a better future, and understanding the dynamics of “enshittification” is the first step towards reclaiming control.

From 19 to 22 December, the white circus will move to two tracks that are history, technique and pure adrenaline: the Saslongtheater of downhill and super-G (Friday 19 and Saturday 20 December), and the Big Laughtercathedral of giant slalom and slalom (Sunday 21 and Monday 22 December). The anticipation is charged with electricity, with fans and millions of viewers ready to hold their breath while icons like Marco Odermatt, Dominik Paris and the highly anticipated Aleksander Aamodt Source they challenge the snow walls. On the legendary Gran Risa, a strip of shade and ice that flows through the woods, this year a golden anniversary is being celebrated: forty years of the World Cup. Since 1985, the station has been synonymous with a technical giant, a challenge that does not allow for mistakes. Andy Varallopresident of the organizing committee, expressed pride in the finish line: «Alta Badia is one of the most prestigious stages. Our work is a constant commitment to excellence, and the race track, thanks to the favorable weather and hard work, is already ready, like an emerald set in the snow.”




















































The exhibition that celebrates the champions of the past

To celebrate the anniversary, the district was transformed into a galleria in the open air. Twenty blow-ups located along the slopes they narrate, through the expert eye of the photographer Freddy Planinschekthe eras, the emotions and the heroes who trod the snow of the Gran Risa. One of these stories is engraved in the heart of Roberto Erlacher. The former local champion from Colfosco, who in 1985 had the privilege of climbing onto the podium of the first Giant, emotionally recalled his childhood dream, when he secretly spied Ingemar Stenmark train on those same curves. «I was lucky enough to make that dream come true, climbing on the podium next to Stenmark: an emotion that still gives me shivers today».

Val Gardena, a speed classic

At the foot of the Sassolungo, Val Gardena is preparing for its 58th edition of the World Cup, an authentic speed classic. But all eyes are set even further, towards 2031, the year in which the resort will host the Alpine Skiing World Championships. The progress of work on the new «La Ciampinoi» slope is tangible proof of a long-term vision that aims to consolidate Val Gardena as the world capital of skiing. Rainer Senoner, president of the organizing committee, praised the work of the Saslong Spa: «The preparation of the track is at an advanced stage. Our event is one of the last descents before the Olympics, which increases the technical and sporting interest.”

Il ritorno di Aleksander Aamodt Kilde

The most awaited event is undoubtedly the return of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, after the long stop due to injury. The Norwegian sprintera true ruler of the Saslong with three victories in the Downhill and two in the Super-G, sent a video message that ignited the audience. «The Saslong is a special place for me. Here everything is perfect: track, snow, atmosphere e welcome. It is the place of my first podium. I can’t wait to compete again” declared Kilde who is also the holder of the Dolomites Val Gardena Ski Trophy, awarded to the best skier of the weekend. The prize, which includes 5,000 euros and a 3D wooden bust, symbolizes the union between sport and local craftsmanship. Winners will receive trophies sculptural carved a thousand in Gardena wood and set with Sassolungo stone, true Alpine jewels.

An experience open to all

The greatness of the South Tyrolean event lies not only in sport, but in experience total offer to the public. Hospitality is elevated to a true art. The Forst Saslounge will be the lounge where personalities from sports, economics and politics can meet in a refined environment. For the public, the “camel humps” area promises a close-up and adrenaline-filled view of the Free Descent, accompanied by gastronomic delicacies. Alta Badia responds with its hospitality areas: the Leitner VIP Lounge, the Red Bull Energy Station and the Gran Risa Chalet and Sunday at midday with the Frecce Tricolori flyover. Trophies are also works of art that honor the territory. Those of Alta Badia, designed by the artist Daniele Basso for the 40th anniversary, are a hymn to the community: reflective steel discs engraved with the microlaser that retrace the route of the Gran Risa, where the “Giant” stands, symbol of the Dolomites and the power of the race.

Kristel Köbrich Wins 2nd Gold | Bolivarian Games 🥇

by Luis Mendoza - Sport Editor
written by Luis Mendoza - Sport Editor

Kristel Köbrich: Pioneering a New Era of Longevity and Dominance in Elite Swimming

Could a 40-year-old athlete not only compete at the highest level but dominate it? Kristel Köbrich is proving that age is increasingly a number, not a limitation. Her recent triumphs at the 2025 Bolivarian Games – securing gold in both the 800m and 1500m freestyle – aren’t just medals; they’re a powerful signal of evolving training methodologies, athlete resilience, and a potential shift in the landscape of competitive swimming. This isn’t simply a story of one swimmer’s success; it’s a glimpse into the future of athletic performance.

The Köbrich Effect: Redefining Peak Performance

Köbrich’s victories in Ayacucho and Lima are particularly striking given her age. While many swimmers peak in their early twenties, Köbrich continues to shatter expectations. She completed the 1500m in 16 minutes, 31.38 seconds, a commanding lead over Colombia’s Tiffany Murillo (17:04.01) and Venezuela’s Mariana Cotes (17:06.90). This isn’t a narrow win; it’s a demonstration of sustained power and strategic pacing. Her 800m time of 8 minutes, 43.64 seconds further cemented her dominance, again outpacing Murillo and Venezuela’s María Victoria Yegres.

What’s driving this longevity? Experts point to a confluence of factors. Improved recovery techniques, personalized nutrition plans, and a deeper understanding of biomechanics are all playing a role. But perhaps the most significant element is Köbrich’s mental fortitude – a characteristic often underestimated in athletic performance. Her six Olympic appearances demonstrate a consistent ability to perform under pressure, a skill honed over decades of competition.

The Science of Sustained Success

The trend Köbrich embodies – athletes competing at elite levels for longer periods – is supported by growing research in sports science. Studies increasingly show that the decline in physical performance isn’t simply a linear process. With the right interventions, athletes can mitigate age-related decline and even improve performance well into their thirties and beyond. This includes focusing on maintaining muscle mass, optimizing hormone levels, and prioritizing sleep.

Did you know? The average retirement age for professional swimmers has been steadily increasing over the past two decades, reflecting these advancements in sports science and athlete care.

Beyond Köbrich: The Rise of the Veteran Athlete

Köbrich’s success isn’t an isolated incident. Across various sports, we’re seeing more athletes challenging conventional notions of age. Consider the continued success of athletes like Lebron James in basketball or Tom Brady (until his recent retirement) in American football. These athletes aren’t just relying on natural talent; they’re investing heavily in their physical and mental well-being, leveraging cutting-edge technology and personalized training programs.

This trend has significant implications for the future of sports. Teams and organizations will need to adapt their strategies to accommodate and support veteran athletes. This includes providing access to specialized medical care, prioritizing recovery, and fostering a culture that values experience and mentorship.

The Impact on Olympic Cycles and Competition

The 2025 Bolivarian Games are a key event in the lead-up to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Köbrich’s performance serves as a powerful statement heading into this Olympic cycle. Her continued success could inspire a new generation of swimmers to pursue their athletic dreams for longer, challenging the traditional timeline of competitive careers. It also raises the stakes for younger athletes, who will need to continually innovate and push their limits to compete with seasoned veterans.

Expert Insight: “We’re entering an era where athletic longevity is becoming increasingly attainable,” says Dr. Anya Sharma, a leading sports physiologist. “The focus is shifting from simply maximizing peak performance in youth to sustaining high-level performance throughout an athlete’s career.”

The Future of Swimming: Data-Driven Training and Personalized Recovery

Looking ahead, the future of swimming – and elite athletics in general – will be increasingly data-driven. Wearable technology, advanced biomechanical analysis, and artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in optimizing training programs and preventing injuries. Personalized recovery protocols, tailored to each athlete’s individual needs, will become standard practice.

This data-driven approach will also extend to nutrition. Athletes will have access to personalized dietary plans based on their genetic makeup, training load, and recovery status. The goal is to optimize fuel intake and minimize inflammation, maximizing performance and accelerating recovery.

Pro Tip: Athletes looking to extend their careers should prioritize data collection and analysis. Tracking key metrics like sleep quality, heart rate variability, and muscle fatigue can provide valuable insights into their physical and mental state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Kristel Köbrich an anomaly, or is this a sign of a broader trend?

A: While Köbrich’s success is exceptional, it’s part of a growing trend of athletes competing at a high level for longer periods. Advancements in sports science and athlete care are making it increasingly possible to mitigate age-related decline.

Q: What role does mental fortitude play in athletic longevity?

A: Mental fortitude is crucial. The ability to handle pressure, overcome setbacks, and maintain motivation is essential for sustained success. Köbrich’s six Olympic appearances demonstrate her exceptional mental strength.

Q: How will this trend impact the competitive landscape of swimming?

A: It will likely increase the level of competition, as younger athletes will need to continually innovate to compete with experienced veterans. Teams and organizations will also need to adapt their strategies to support veteran athletes.

Q: What technologies are most promising for extending athletic careers?

A: Wearable technology, advanced biomechanical analysis, artificial intelligence, and personalized nutrition plans are all showing significant promise.

Köbrich’s story is more than just a sporting achievement; it’s a testament to the power of dedication, innovation, and the evolving understanding of human potential. As we look towards the 2028 Olympics and beyond, expect to see more athletes challenging the boundaries of age and redefining what’s possible. What will be the next breakthrough in athletic longevity? The race is on.
