The center will include a traveler’s lounge, storage, exhibition and promotion spaces, and an outdoor terrace.

The opening ceremony is scheduled for August, and going forward, the center plans to support the activities of local tourism companies and artists and operate demand-centered tourism programs, focusing on revitalizing art tourism.
