[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County in Jeollanam-do has been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '2020 Regional Demand Customized Support Contest Project.'

According to Haenam County on the 10th, the Regional Demand Customized Support Contest Project is a small-scale project closely related to residents' daily lives, promoted to improve the quality of life of local residents, with a project cost of 2 billion KRW fully funded by the national government.

In particular, this project plans to be carried out as a cooperative project with the neighboring Gangjin County, drawing great interest in the development of a tourism package product linking the two cities/counties.

The county pursued the contest project through collaboration between local governments under the policy of prioritizing selection when tourism resources are developed into stay-type package content, achieving successful results.

Gosan Yun Seondo and Dasan Jeong Yak-yong are representative figures of Haenam and Gangjin, respectively, with a connection that Dasan Jeong Yak-yong's mother was from the Haenam Yun family and that he is a descendant of Gosan Yun Seondo.

By deriving eight core keywords?nature, history, art, culture, tea, figures, food, and trails?and sharing and linking the tourism resources of Gangjin County and Haenam County, it is expected that the possibility of success as a stay-type tourism brand will be very high.

Going forward, Haenam County plans to create a traditional garden around the Gosan Yun Seondo historic site, and Gangjin County plans to create Aejeolyang Park around the Dasan historic site to compose a wide-area tourism program.

Meanwhile, in April, Haenam County and Gangjin County signed a business agreement for the mutual development of the tourism industry, agreeing to jointly work on planning and operating cultural heritage exploration programs, jointly attracting and managing student study tour groups, direct trade events for agricultural specialties, tourism marketing promotion, and revitalizing the tourism industry and local economy.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “The project was selected because the cooperation pursued under the goal of revitalizing tourism through linkage between local governments received a good evaluation,” adding, “We will continue to promote cooperation in various fields for mutual development and carry out the project flawlessly to present a successful model.”
