[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Lee Seung-ok) announced on the 8th that on the 7th, marking the year 2020 as the "first year of opening the era of 5 million tourists," they held a residents' meeting at Gau-do, a representative tourist destination of Gangjin.

At the meeting, the county promoted major policies such as "job creation through attracting businesses," "development of stay-type tourist destinations," and "realization of a happy welfare community together," and took time to explain the projects currently underway.

They exchanged opinions on the "installation construction of convenience facilities for transportation-disadvantaged people (monorail)" which embraces visitors of various age groups, and the "installation construction of a suspension bridge" project being promoted to resolve complaints that the bridge does not actually sway.

In addition, they explained the Gau-do comprehensive island development project including the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant and the creation of walking trails, as well as the "Fragrant Island Creation Project" which aims to cultivate Gau-do into a fragrant island by planting hydrangeas at the entrance of Gau-do and along the walking trails, and promised to proceed with the project in a resident-participatory manner by listening to residents' opinions.

The first residents' meeting of the new year was a meaningful time to seek ways to attract tourists so that Gau-do, Gangjin's representative tourist destination, can fulfill its role as a stay-type tourist destination based on culture and arts, and to have in-depth discussions on the future development direction of Gau-do.

Kim Hak-dong, Director of Tourism, said, "Along with the implementation of resident-participatory projects, we will focus all administrative efforts so that Gau-do can play a leading role in attracting 5 million tourists as a stay-type tourist destination."
