Yeonggwang-gun 'Theme Botanical Garden and Equestrian Center Development Plan Report Meeting' Successfully Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 17th that it held a thematic botanical garden and equestrian center development plan briefing session for heads of institutions and social organizations in Hongnong-eup at the Hongnong-eup Office on the 16th.

The thematic botanical garden and equestrian center had difficulties such as developing linked programs due to the dual management by existing departments, so since January 1st, they have been integrated and managed by the Forest Park Division.

The county has completed the first phase of the project, investing 15.6 billion KRW in a 25-hectare area in Jindeok-ri, Hongnong-eup, creating a glass greenhouse, themed garden, auto camping site, walking trails, and an outdoor riding course for horseback riding experiences.

Additionally, by December, the second phase of the project will be completed, including the establishment of a county management plan (change) decision service and a forest leisure facility construction plan to supplement forest leisure facilities and register the local garden at the thematic botanical garden.

Based on the opinions derived from this briefing session, the county plans to thoroughly introduce facilities with strong attraction power that can induce tourists' visits and discover experiential programs linked to tourist sites around the thematic botanical garden and equestrian center.

A county official stated, “We will create synergy by linking the botanical garden and equestrian center and establish it as a representative tourist garden of the county by introducing unique experiential play facilities for children and family visitors.”
