[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has decided to foster a total of four establishments this year as the ‘Beautiful Hapcheon Restaurants That Captivate at First Sight.’

To discover and nurture representative restaurants of the county, since last year, a comprehensive survey of local dining establishments and evaluation criteria for selecting restaurants have been prepared, and from March, the project to discover and foster ‘Beautiful Hapcheon Restaurants That Captivate at First Sight’ was planned.

Out of 652 general restaurants in the area, a public contest was held for three months allowing anyone to participate, resulting in 19 applications. An external expert panel conducted a strict evaluation based on written assessments, selecting 13 dining establishments.

For the 13 dining establishments that passed the first written evaluation, three expert teams (each consisting of two members) were formed to conduct on-site evaluations using criteria such as menu and taste, hygiene management, and business environment, ultimately selecting six dining establishments.

The six dining establishments, selected through a strict and fair process, underwent about five months of on-site consulting. The evaluation covered the taste of the representative dishes, interior and exterior environment of the restaurant, staff attire and friendliness, as well as promotion and marketing efforts, resulting in the final selection of four dining establishments.

County Governor Moon Jun-hee stated, “Since the selected establishments were chosen through continuous consulting, we confidently promote them as representative restaurants of the county to tourists and local residents,” adding, “The selected restaurants will not be a one-time event but will be continuously monitored and promoted.”
