Wando-gun, "Wando of Marine Healing... Expected to Generate 1 Trillion Won in Income" View original image


The marine healing industry is a key project promoted by Wando-gun with a vision for the next 100 years. Marine healing refers to health promotion activities that use marine resources such as marine climate, sea breeze, seawater, tidal flats, and seaweed in a clean marine environment to heal the mind and body.


Until last year, a total of 92.6 billion KRW in project funds have been secured to develop the Marine Healing Center along with the Marine Climate Healing Center, Marine Culture Healing Center, Marine Healing Experience Center linked with the Coastal Healing Forest, and Marine Healing Park. The Marine Healing Center is the core facility of the marine healing industry, responsible for supplying and managing healing resources, operating marine healing programs, and training specialized personnel.


It is expected that by the end of this year, public facilities including the Marine Healing Center will be completed, allowing the public to fully experience marine healing. If the marine healing industry is successfully established, it is anticipated to not only improve public health but also create about 13,000 jobs and generate approximately 1 trillion KRW in income by promoting the marine healing industry in connection with medical care, tourism, and the bio-industry.



Shin Woo-cheol, the governor of Wando-gun, stated, "The Marine Healing Center, which will play a pivotal role in the marine healing industry, broke ground on March 31," adding, "We have declared this year as the inaugural year of marine healing industrialization and are accelerating the project implementation."
