[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jae-hee] Kim Chung-young, a member of the Iksan City Council in Jeonbuk, has called on the executive branch to develop bicycle tourism content linked to the Mangyeonggang Culture Center.

On the 24th, Councilor Kim Chung-young proposed, "We need to develop and integrate content such as a BMX stadium centered around the Mangyeonggang Culture Center, a children's bicycle education center, and an experience center to prepare measures that can contribute to the development of the tourism industry."

The Mangyeonggang Culture Center is being constructed by the Iksan Regional Land Management Office in the Mokcheon-dong area, with a total floor area of 11,569㎡, consisting of one basement floor and two above-ground floors. Once construction is completed in June next year, Iksan City will take over the facility and manage and operate it.

Councilor Kim argued that efforts should be made to ensure that the city's opinions, as the future operating entity, can be actively expressed in the content development service project promoted by the Land Management Office in the second half of the year.

He also suggested the need for distinctive and differentiated content such as installing a BMX stadium utilizing the Mangyeonggang waterfront space, a bicycle education and experience center for children, and creating meeting places and rest areas for Mangyeonggang riders.

Councilor Kim urged, "Some of the land for the culture center currently being developed falls under the administrative district of Gimje City, so the executive branch should actively work with Gimje City to adjust the administrative district to Iksan City."
