Held Inauguration Ceremony on the 9th and Began Full-Scale Activities

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Hampyeong Festival Tourism Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Tourism Foundation’), which will lead Hampyeong-gun’s festival and tourism industry, held its official launch ceremony on the 9th and began full-scale activities.

Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 10th that the launch ceremony of the Hampyeong Festival Tourism Foundation was held on the 9th at the Festival Expo Office, attended by Lee Sang-ik, mayor of Hampyeong-gun and chairman of the foundation, foundation board members, and county council members.

The county has been promoting the establishment of the Hampyeong Festival Tourism Foundation, a think tank that will lead the future tourism of Hampyeong by securing expertise in the core industries of county administration, such as festivals and tourism, and systematically developing tourism content, since early this year.

Earlier, after establishing a basic plan for the foundation, the county formed a board of seven members to lead the foundation through an open recruitment in July, and completed all procedures for the foundation’s establishment by registering the corporation on the 23rd of last month.

Going forward, the Tourism Foundation will have an office within the Festival Expo Office and will promote tasks for the development of Hampyeong-gun’s unique festival and tourism industry in line with changing trends in the post-COVID-19 era.

In particular, with its official launch, the foundation faces its first task of hosting the ‘2021 Gukhyangdaejeon (National Chrysanthemum Exhibition),’ and plans to strive to successfully hold the event, which was temporarily suspended last year due to the impact of COVID-19.

Mayor Lee Sang-ik said, “I sincerely congratulate the launch of the Hampyeong Festival Tourism Foundation,” and added, “I ask everyone to gather your ideas and know-how for the development of our county’s festival and tourism industry.”
