Hampyeong 'Healing and Wellness Spot' Dolmeori Seawater Steaming Healing Center Operation 'Imminent'

Accepting Bids for Healing Center Operation Business Until the 5th of Next Month

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, has launched a recruitment drive for operators to start running the ‘Dolmeori Seawater Jjim Healing Center,’ a space created for healing and relaxation using seawater.

According to the county on the 24th, in accordance with the bid announcement for selecting the operator of the Dolmeori Seawater Jjim Healing Center, bids will be accepted until the 5th of next month, with the bid opening scheduled for the 6th to select the operator.

Originally, the county planned to begin operating the healing center immediately after the building received its usage approval in December 2019, but operations were postponed due to closures and temporary shutdowns of multi-use facilities caused by COVID-19.

However, as social distancing measures in the Jeonnam region have recently been eased and COVID-19 vaccinations are progressing smoothly, the county has resumed administrative procedures related to selecting the operator.

Before opening, the county plans to conduct trial operations to inspect various facilities, and once the operator is finally selected, will proceed with facility handover, preparation for business, and then commence full operations.

Construction of the Hampyeong Dolmeori Seawater Jjim Healing Center began in May 2017, with a total project cost of 5.4 billion KRW. The center was built as a two-story building with a total area of 1,116 square meters.

Main facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, caf?, and convenience store on the first floor, and eight seawater bath rooms on the second floor. The center is differentiated as a space for healing and relaxation, moving beyond simple body scrubbing and bathing culture, and is expected to attract much interest from many people exhausted by COVID-19.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik stated, “As the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has accumulated mental and physical fatigue for all citizens, I hope the Dolmeori Seawater Jjim Healing Center will help with mental stability and health recovery.” He added, “We plan to continue discovering and expanding various projects utilizing the sea and mudflats, enhancing the public functions of marine resources, and preparing win-win measures that can invigorate the local economy.”
