[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 25th that Jeong Hye-ran, the 2nd Vice Mayor, and members of the Tourism Promotion Committee visited the recently opened Changwon Arboretum earlier this month to discuss ways to revitalize ecological tourism resources.

Located in the Samdong-dong area of Uichang-gu, the Changwon Arboretum spans 104,700㎡ and features the largest cactus greenhouse in Korea, along with propagation and cultivation facilities, exhibition facilities, and landscaping installations. With a total of 1,205 species and 230,000 trees planted, it has been designated as Gyeongnam's third public arboretum.

The Tourism Promotion Committee members who toured the facilities praised the Changwon Arboretum not only as a healing space for local residents but also as an attractive destination capable of drawing external tourists. They noted that when linked with nearby tourist facilities, it is worthy of being a representative tourist spot of Changwon, and suggested development as a wedding photo shoot location utilizing the scenic views.

Jeong Hye-ran, the 2nd Vice Mayor of Changwon City, stated, “We need to discover new tourism products that align with the changed tourism trends after COVID-19.”
