[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan Hwangto Mudflat Land, designated as Ramsar Wetland No. 1732 and Jeonnam Provincial Park, has marked its 15th anniversary since establishment.

According to Muan County on the 19th, the mudflat, which spreads widely around Haeje-myeon, first opened in 2006 as the Muan Hwangto Mudflat Center to preserve the mudflat. With the addition of facilities such as a campground and an ecological mudflat science museum, it has become a representative tourist attraction in the southwestern region.

Despite COVID-19 last year, 82,000 tourists visited, drawing attention as a non-face-to-face travel destination. The county is operating Mudflat Land as a safe family tourist spot by paying special attention to quarantine measures, including restrictions on face-to-face experience programs and closure of facilities used by many people.

Kim San-gu said, “This year, we plan to officially operate the Maritime Safety Experience Center and are preparing programs suitable for the post-COVID-19 era. In particular, once the 1.4 km-long exploration bridge, which allows close observation of the mudflat, is completed, it is expected that visitors will be able to witness the spectacular scenes created by the tides.”
