[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ki-woon] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) will open 13 beaches for 35 days from July 13 to August 16.

According to Sinan-gun on the 18th, among this summer's beaches, Jungdo Jjangttungeo, Imja Daegwang, and Jaeun Baekgil beaches, which attract many tourists, will operate on a reservation system.

The "Beach Reservation System" is a policy proposed by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to reduce crowd density at beaches to prevent COVID-19 infections. Visitors can enter after undergoing temperature checks at designated entrances for the safety of visitors and local residents, and users must follow beach guidelines such as maintaining social distancing (2 meters).

This measure aims to protect the safety of beachgoers and prevent community transmission of COVID-19. Tourists wishing to visit Sinan-gun beaches can make reservations through the "Sea Travel" website before visiting.

Among the beaches operated under the reservation system, Jungdo Jjangttungeo Beach allows visitors to walk on the Jjangttungeo Bridge and observe various mudflat creatures. Imjado Daegwang Beach has the longest sandy beach in Korea, and Jaeun Baekgil Beach is easily accessible due to the opening of the Cheonsa Bridge.

Park Woo-ryang, Governor of Sinan-gun, stated, "Visitors may feel some inconvenience due to the newly introduced reservation system," and added, "We plan to provide healing to people tired of the COVID-19 pandemic through Sinan-gun's pristine marine tourism resources, where forests and the sea harmonize."
