[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ki-woon] Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 10th that a new tourism content called ‘1004 Art Land’ will be created in the Sinseok-ri area of Amtaedo near the 1004 Bridge, which has become a nationwide tourist attraction since its opening on April 4 last year.

Since the opening of the Cheonsa Bridge, the number of vehicles visiting Amtaedo reached an impressive 2.33 million by the end of last year. Especially, despite being the off-season for tourism in winter, Amtaedo sees an average of about 8,000 cars visiting daily, establishing itself as a new tourism hub in the southwestern region.

However, the influx of tourists has highlighted a significant shortage of accommodation facilities, convenience facilities, and recreational facilities for travelers, causing some disappointment among visitors.

In response, Shinan-gun signed an investment agreement (MOU) worth a total of 37.6 billion KRW with Yeosu Art Land Co., Ltd. on December 27 last year to create a themed complex tourism site called ‘1004 Art Land’ in the Sinseok-ri area of Amtaedo.

‘1004 Art Land’ plans to operate a Ferris wheel and monorail to offer more attractions to travelers, along with travel convenience facilities such as cafeterias and specialty product stores.

In particular, on Nako Island, about 200 rooms of accommodation facilities, which have been the most regretted issue so far, will be built along with an infinity pool and an artificial beach.

Shinan-gun has an ambitious plan to make the ‘1004 Art Land’ project a new mecca for sustainable island tourism through differentiated tourism content alongside the Cheonsa Bridge.

To this end, Shinan-gun intends to provide administrative support to the investment agreement partner for successful project implementation and, if necessary, support the construction of basic infrastructure in the development area.

The strategy is to encourage the early completion of ‘1004 Art Land’ by supporting basic infrastructure construction and to revitalize the local economy by attracting tourists.

Park Woo-ryang, the mayor of Shinan-gun, said, “‘1004 Art Land’ will become a new landmark of southwestern tourism that harmonizes with the Cheonsa Bridge as well as offering outstanding natural scenery. I am confident that it will provide tourists with unique attractions and greatly contribute to increasing the income of local residents, bringing mutual benefits.”
