[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu's 'Biseulsan County Park' and 'Samunjin Jumak Village' have been selected for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's '2021 Open Tourist Site Development Project.' Daegu City regards this as a 'great achievement' since it is the only metropolitan local government to have two tourist sites selected at once.

According to Daegu City on the 14th, 54 tourist sites from 17 local governments nationwide applied for this project by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which selects 20 tourist sites nationwide as 'Open Tourist Sites.' After the first document screening and the second on-site inspection, a total of 20 tourist sites from 8 local governments were finally selected.

The 'Open Tourist Site Development Project' is a project to renovate and repair existing tourist sites and develop experiential content that everyone can enjoy, so that mobility-vulnerable groups such as the disabled, the elderly, and families with infants and young children can travel conveniently and safely.

The selected local governments will finalize detailed improvement plans through customized consulting by 'Open Tourist Site' experts, and from next year, they will actively promote design and construction related to renovation and repair such as ramps for open tourist sites, restrooms for the disabled, and wheelchair rental centers.

So far, Daegu City has promoted barrier-free tourism activation projects such as barrier-free tours for tourism vulnerable groups, discovering and developing barrier-free tourist courses, and operating the Daegu-Gyeongbuk barrier-free tourist site monitoring team since Daegu Modern Alley was first selected as an 'Open Tourist Site' in 2015. In particular, in June, it also enacted an ordinance to create and support a barrier-free tourism environment for tourism vulnerable groups.

Park Hee-jun, Director of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of Daegu City, emphasized, "We will do our best to create an overall environment as an open tourist site, such as discovering barrier-free tourist courses, improving the physical environment of barrier-free tourist sites, and producing and sharing barrier-free online tour videos, so that Daegu can become a 'city where travel is easy and comfortable for everyone.'"
