Boseong Yulposolbat Beach Implements 'Safe Beach Reservation System'

County Governor Kim Cheol-woo: "Beach Reservation System is a Testing Ground for Post-COVID-19 Tourism Policy"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 19th that, anticipating a concentration of visitors at the beach ahead of the peak summer season, Yulpo Solbat Beach, which opens on the 11th of next month, will be operated by reservation system.

Also, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the county will not operate the Yulpo seawater pool, which is usually managed directly by the county every summer. Instead, the pool staff will be reassigned as beach management personnel to thoroughly enforce social distancing measures such as reservation confirmation and temperature checks.

In particular, considering the open nature of the beach, in-depth discussions are underway regarding efficient entry and exit control measures to ensure the reservation system operates systematically.

The reservation system will be operated through advance reservations and on-site reservations, which can be made via the government-established ‘Sea Travel’ website or by phone. The beach reservation system is promoted by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to prevent and block COVID-19 and is a policy to disperse and alleviate beach visitors.

A county official said, “Since this is the first implementation, there are many preparations to be made, but we will closely communicate with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to supplement and resolve issues and minimize inconvenience to users.”

County Governor Kim Cheol-woo stated, “The advance reservation system for beaches is a major experimental stage for tourism policies in preparation for post-COVID-19,” adding, “We will prepare thoroughly to protect the safety of tourists and residents and strive to become a model case.”

Meanwhile, Yulpo Solbat Beach boasts a 1 km long silver sandy beach, a forest of over 100-year-old pine trees, and a natural tidal flat rich in minerals, and will be open for 51 days until August 31.
