[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that with the designation of the ‘Sancheong Oriental Medicine Anti-Aging General Industrial Complex’ as a Gyeongnam Corporate Investment Promotion Zone, it will advance the production and distribution system of the local oriental medicinal herb industry and expand anti-aging tourism infrastructure to lay the foundation for a new leap forward.

First, focusing on the county-operated online shopping mall, San-encheong Shopping Mall, efforts are being made to expand online and offline distribution bases and marketing, including online distribution channels and the ‘Local Food Happiness Market’ at rest areas on the Daejeon-Tongyeong Expressway.

Along with this, to host the 2nd Sancheong World Traditional Medicine Anti-Aging Expo in 2023, the tourism and experience infrastructure of Donguibogam Village, the main event venue, will be improved and expanded.

First, Donguimun and Bogammun gates, the entry points to Donguibogam Village, will be installed, and a unique attraction, the suspension bridge ‘Healing Bridge,’ is also being constructed.

Additionally, a mountain herb cultivation complex will be established where visitors can indirectly experience wild mountain herbs native to Jirisan.

A county official explained, “The Oriental Medicine Anti-Aging General Industrial Complex is already completed and ready for immediate occupancy,” adding, “Along with Donguibogam Village, an oriental medicine anti-aging theme park, the clean natural environment including Jirisan and Gyeonghogang River, and a well-connected transportation network provide an optimal location for oriental medicine anti-aging companies.”

He continued, “It is also connected to the K-Bio industry, which has recently gained attention amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” and emphasized, “We will actively attract companies by establishing a cooperative system with the provincial investment attraction support team and Gyeongnam Development Corporation so that companies from the metropolitan area as well as domestic and overseas companies can settle in our anti-aging industrial complex.”
