Yeonggwang-gun Accelerates Creation of 'Experiential Tourist Sites' Using Personal Mobility Devices

Operation Plan for PM Program in Bulgapsaji District to Bulgapsubyun Park Section

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 2nd that it plans to operate a program where visitors can directly experience PM (Personal Mobility) from Bulgapsa District Tourist Site to Bulgapsu Waterfront Park section.

This program targets tourists visiting Bulgapsa Temple to revitalize tourism using PM, following last year's designation of the e-mobility regulatory free zone.

To this end, the county is designing a PM driving road (7.3 km round trip) using the river embankment road upstream of Bulgapcheon Stream and rural roads from Bulgapsa District Tourist Site to Bulgapsu Waterfront Park. In addition, the staff conducted test drives to review the driving route and safety.

Through the test drives, they plan to finalize the installation of safety facilities on the river embankment road, driving direction, and road crossing sections.

In particular, for uneven sections, the design will be carefully reviewed to ensure driving safety, and the design will proceed in accordance with the previously established ‘e-mobility Road Maintenance Project Basic Plan’.

Regarding the PM operation plan, various options such as direct management or consignment operation are being considered, and infrastructure support will be actively provided in case of consignment operation.

A county official said, “We will continue to promote various content and facility improvements to create experiential tourism and smart tourist sites in line with changing tourism trends.”
