[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Kim Byeong-won, the Democratic Party of Korea's preliminary candidate for the National Assembly representing Naju·Hwasun, Jeonnam, stated on the 6th, "We must improve residents' income through revitalizing the tourism industry."

On the same day, Candidate Kim visited the commercial district in Hwasun-eup and expressed this view, listening to the difficulties faced by local merchants and discussing ways to revitalize the regional economy together.

After hearing about the merchants' hardships due to prolonged recession and population decline leading to the gradual decline of the commercial area, he comforted them and said, "To achieve substantial income improvement for the residents of the Naju·Hwasun area, concentrated investment in the tourism industry must be made."

He continued, "Tourism has broader related sectors and impacts more people than any other industry," emphasizing, "By commercializing the tourism and cultural resources scattered throughout the Hwasun area, such as the dolmens, Jeokbyeok, Dundong Village forest, and Seryangji, attracting many tourists will significantly increase residents' income."

He added, "To commercialize tourism and cultural resources, efforts from local governments as well as budgetary and institutional support at the central government level are necessary," and stated, "Among the preliminary candidates, Kim Byeong-won, the only economic expert, can create new development opportunities for Hwasun."
