[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] A large-scale tourist complex will be developed in Seocheon, Chungnam by 2026.

On the 8th, Chungnam Province announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Seocheon County and Sae Seoul Group regarding this matter.

The MOU was signed with the main purpose of Sae Seoul Group developing a year-round stay-type tourist complex on a 3.8 million㎡ site in Jongcheon-myeon, Seocheon County.

The area of the tourist complex will be the second largest among 27 tourist sites and complexes in Chungnam, following Anmyeondo (5,247,292㎡). The complex will include accommodation facilities such as hotels and condominiums, a 27-hole golf course, cultural facilities including museums and art galleries, and commercial facilities such as shopping centers.
