[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] An international tourism city promotion project developing brands based on 7 maritime bridges and 7 beaches is underway in Busan.

On the 2nd, Busan City announced that it will intensify the '7 Bridge & Beach Brand Development Project,' one of the core projects of the international tourism city initiative.

The 7 maritime bridges are Gwangandaegyo, Busanhangdaegyo, Yeongdodaegyo, Namhangdaegyo, Eulsukdodaegyo, Sinhodaegyo, and Gadeokdaegyo.

The '7 Bridge & Beach Brand Development Project' is a project to actively turn the 7 coastal bridges in Busan into tourism resources.

The goal is to develop the 7 coastal bridges and beaches into an integrated tourism brand called 'Lucky Seven,' symbolizing good fortune.

Busan City will ensure that 7 Bridge & Beach becomes a specialized tourism resource of Busan by ▲ developing the brand ▲ conducting a citizen participation contest ▲ operating a consultative body involving industry and related experts ▲ hosting mega events at the end and beginning of the year ▲ commercializing through video production, goods, and tourism program development.

Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, said, "We are preparing the 7 Bridge & Beach brand development as a cornerstone to create an international tourism city, Busan," and added, "We will develop various contents to build Busan as a 'Cultural Tourism Attractive City,' a pledge implementation task."

This project will start with brand development this year, followed by a citizen participation contest and related events, with a maximum budget of 1.5 billion KRW allocated until 2024.
