[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yongcheol] On the 14th, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that the Boseong Dahyang Grand Festival was selected as a ‘Cultural Tourism Festival’ for 2020-2021 hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Last year, the Boseong Dahyang Grand Festival, which was selected as the shortest-term Best Festival by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, was also selected as a Cultural Tourism Festival in this designation, the first to be conducted after the abolition of the existing cultural tourism festival grading system.

Going forward, the Boseong Dahyang Grand Festival will receive national funding and promotional support from the Korea Tourism Organization for two years, and this year it will receive a national budget of 58 million won.

In May of last year, Boseong-gun enhanced and expanded killer contents such as tea leaf picking, tea making, and tea drinking at the Boseong Dahyang Grand Festival held around the Korea Tea Culture Park, and received high praise from tourists by organizing a container booth tea yard instead of a uniform tent setup.

In particular, to create a Boseong Dahyang Grand Festival enjoyed by the whole family by taking advantage of the characteristics of Family Month, various spaces such as a water slide zone using green tea and a kids zone where health and fun can be enjoyed together were created in the front yard of the Korea Tea Museum.

A county official said, “We will continue to listen to the diverse opinions of experts from various fields and local residents to seek mid- to long-term development plans for the festival and further solidify Boseong’s position as the green tea capital of tourism.”

Meanwhile, since 1996, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has designated and supported excellent local festivals as cultural tourism festivals every year, and this year, 35 festivals with sustainability and self-sustaining competitiveness were selected out of 98 festivals nationwide.
