Imsil-gun Accelerates Seomjingang Eco-Museum Development Project

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] On the 7th, Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk announced that the second phase of the Seomjingang Eco Museum project, ‘Okjeongho Healing Land,’ has passed the Central Investment Review for Local Finance.

With the recognition of the necessity and legitimacy of the tourism development project centered on Okjeongho, it is expected to rapidly advance the creation of Korea’s best complex and stay-type tourist complex.

A total of 100.9 billion KRW, including national funds, is being invested to promote cultural tourism revitalization projects based on Okjeongho.

Two projects, including Bungeo Island Eco Garden and waterfront walking trails, have been completed, and six projects such as the Bungeo Island suspension bridge construction, zipline, specialized complex development, Okjeongho water culture trail construction, eco-museum access and connecting roads, and intersection improvement are actively underway.

To invest in the future value of the Okjeongho tourism development project, inquiries for private investment from tourism-related facilities and companies are already pouring in.

The county is currently building an eco-friendly tourism belt in connection with the Okjeongho waterfront development project and plans to enhance Imsil’s tourism infrastructure and secure new tourism hubs by harmonizing with the local community and natural scenery based on ‘people-centered and nature-friendly’ tourism development.

Also, with the complex and stay-type tourist complex based on Okjeongho becoming visible, it is expected that the full-fledged Okjeongho era will arrive, leading Imsil’s new future tourism.

By linking Imsil’s rich tourism resources such as Imsil Cheese Theme Park, Seongsusan Mountain, and Osu Uigyeon Tourist Site, new attractions, food, and entertainment will be created.

County Governor Shim Min said, “The Okjeongho complex and stay-type tourist complex is a family-centered healing space harmonized with nature,” adding, “It will present a new paradigm of tourism culture that everyone, regardless of age or gender, can empathize with, enjoy, and experience.”

He continued, “Imsil has sufficient potential and competitive tourism resources to leap beyond Korea to become a world-class tourist city,” and added, “We will do our best to grow into a future-oriented tourism hub city where nature and people coexist.”
