[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] On the 16th, Sangju City in Gyeongbuk held a final report meeting for the basic plan and feasibility study of the tourism attraction project around Gyeongcheon Island at the city hall's main conference room, attended by Mayor Kang Young-seok, city council members, and related agency officials.

According to Sangju City, the report meeting reflected various opinions that could link existing tourist resources in the Nakdong River area, discussed at the interim report meeting held last October, to prepare a highly complete plan.

The final report of the study focuses on promoting a themed project with sightseeing and resting spots targeting Gyeongcheon Island in the Nakdong River, where visitors have rapidly increased in the COVID-19 era.

The project also includes remodeling the Hoisangnaru tourist site by reorganizing accommodation facilities and improving lodging at the auto camping site. Additionally, it contains the creation of a Nakdong River food village to address visitors' inconvenience due to a lack of food options.

Mayor Kang Young-seok of Sangju said, "We will strive to ensure that this place contributes to revitalizing the local economy as a travel destination along the 700-ri stretch of the Nakdong River, just like the project plan utilizing the beautiful scenery around Gyeongcheon Island and existing tourist resources."

Meanwhile, Sangju Gyeongcheon Island is a 200,000㎡ sandbar island (Hajungdo, an island formed by river sediment deposits) adjacent to the Sangju Weir on the Nakdong River. It is an ecological park where various flowers bloom seasonally, starting with canola flowers in spring, and was selected last month in the Korea Tourism Organization's contest for discovering and fostering small-scale potential tourist destinations.
