Hampyeong-gun Successfully Concludes Special Lecture for Tourism Officials on Presenting the Vision of Hampyeong Expo Park

Invited Lecture by Former President Na Hong-chae, the Original Designer of Expo Park

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Recently, Hampyeong-gun has been promoting various tourism development projects, including a four-season tourism project, to revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to the impact of COVID-19.

On the 24th, Jeollanam-do Hampyeong-gun announced that on the 23rd, a special lecture was held at the theme video hall of Hampyeong Expo Park with about 60 public officials related to the tourism sector in attendance.

This special lecture was organized to enhance the capabilities of public officials from related departments and to establish an organic cooperative system between departments by linking tourism resources near Expo Park, such as the Hampyeong Cheonjigil development project and the drive-in theater, aiming to promote the development of the county's tourism industry.

The invited lecturer was former Secretary-General of the 2008 Hampyeong World Butterfly and Insect Expo and former Director of Planning and Budget Office of Hampyeong-gun, Na Hongchae, who gave a lecture titled "Special Lecture for Presenting the Vision of Hampyeong Expo Park."

Na Hongchae, who originally designed Expo Park and hosted the 2008 Expo, lectured on the original planning intentions of Expo Park based on his experience at the time, along with the current need for improvements and future development directions.

In particular, he emphasized the need for customer (tourist)-centered thinking from the planning stage, including park surrounding facilities and visitor routes, which resonated with the public officials.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik encouraged, “I hope that public officials from related departments will actively demonstrate their capabilities so that Expo Park can serve as a wellness tourism destination focused on rest and health throughout all four seasons, and that all these efforts will be returned to the residents by pooling wisdom.”
