[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 21st that it began construction on the 9th with the goal of completing the Marine Climate Healing Center, part of the ‘Marine Healing Blue Zone Development’ project, by December this year.

The Marine Climate Healing Center will be built at Sinji Myeongsasimni Beach with an investment of 1.2 billion KRW. It will serve as a space for operating various marine healing programs such as Nordic walking and beach yoga that utilize the clean environment and climate of Myeongsasimni. The facility will include a multipurpose hall, locker rooms, and changing rooms.

In particular, as the first facility to be constructed for the creation of the marine healing complex, it is expected to contribute to promoting Wando-gun’s key projects: the marine healing industry and the marine bio industry.

Sin Woo-cheol, the mayor of Wando-gun, said, “The groundbreaking of the Marine Climate Healing Center is a very meaningful project as it marks the first step in the marine healing industry. The Marine Healing Center is also scheduled to begin construction within this year, and we will strive to ensure the smooth establishment of public facilities so that the marine healing industry can be revitalized.”

A county official stated, “The satisfaction of visitors who have experienced the marine climate healing programs is high, and it has become a representative experience program of Wando-gun. Once the Marine Climate Healing Center is built, it is expected to greatly help by providing convenience facilities and operating indoor programs.”
