Hwasun-gun Selects 32 Restaurants to Boost Tourism Activation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 25th that it has selected 32 "matjip" (popular restaurants) to revitalize tourism and strengthen competitiveness.

The final selected "matjip" includes 24 general restaurants and 8 cafes.

Since May, the county began receiving recommendations and applications for matjip, conducted eligibility reviews, and held online evaluations involving residents and tourists.

Additionally, through a three-stage evaluation process including on-site assessments that comprehensively evaluated hygiene, service, convenience facilities, and potential linkage with tourist attractions, 32 final matjip were selected.

A matjip guidebook titled "Hwasun 8 Gyeong Matjip Journey" introducing the selected establishments will be produced, and online promotions through SNS and other channels will be carried out.

The county expects that the selection of matjip will contribute to the overall improvement of the dining industry and the revitalization of Hwasun tourism, which has been weakened due to COVID-19.

A county official stated, "We will continue to implement various tourism policies to make Hwasun a place people want to visit again and stay longer."
