[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 6th that it has been selected for the 'Gyeongnam-type DMO Development Project' for two consecutive years.


The Gyeongnam-type DMO Development Project is a public contest project promoted by Gyeongnam Province, where various local stakeholders participate to discover and foster regional tourism promotion organizations. Two organizations within the province are selected. Accordingly, the Hapcheon-gun Tourism Council was the only organization in Gyeongnam to be selected for two consecutive years.


The Hapcheon-gun Tourism Council is a private-led cooperative organization jointly participating for regional tourism promotion, consisting of tourism business operators, tourism-related businesses, tourism-related organizations, and residents. It was established in May last year and has successfully operated the ‘Gyeongnam-type One Month Living’ program, performed guest services for the ‘1st Suryeohan Film Festival,’ and promoted the ‘2020 Gyeongnam-type DMO Development Project’.


This public contest project selected Hapcheon-gun and Hadong-gun as the final winners through a first document screening based on organizational capability, appropriateness of the business plan, sustainability, and business effectiveness, followed by a second presentation evaluation by judges. Going forward, the county will receive 200 million KRW in project funds and consulting support from an advisory group.



Moon Dong-gu, Director of the Tourism Promotion Division, said, “We are pleased that the Hapcheon-gun Tourism Council has been selected for the public contest project for two consecutive years following last year,” and added, “We look forward to the council’s growth and continued development.”
