The 'Shinji Seaweed Spa Land,' designated as a Rest (休) MICE Facility this time, has meeting and accommodation facilities that can accommodate 80 people, and at the nearby Myeongsashipri Beach, marine climate experiences such as Nordic walking and Pilates are available.

Additionally, it is a clean unique venue where the body and mind can be healed through various healing programs linked to marine healing, such as sea salt steaming, flower tea, and tasting marine healing foods.

Also, the Golden Valley Resort located on Saengildo, the 'Island You Want to Visit,' has a seminar room that can accommodate 40 people, and the nearby Geumgok Beach is famous for its fine sand, making it sufficient to soothe tired body and mind through steaming therapy.

Moreover, Baegunsan Mountain, where you can take in the spectacular views of the Dadohae Sea at a glance, Saengilnamdo's premium trail where you can walk while looking at the sea, and various spots on the island where fishing is possible make it a highly specialized place for wellness experiences.

Lee Song-hyun, Director of Tourism at Wando-gun, said, "We will revitalize the local economy through the MICE industry utilizing Wando's abundant marine healing resources and marine cultural tourism resources such as the Cheonghaejin relics," and added, "We will strive to strengthen the regional brand competitiveness by expanding resort-type MICE facilities based on wellness content in the future."
