[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization is promoting inter-city and county cooperative tourism projects within the province.

On the 8th, the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced that through the '2021 Gyeonggi-do Interconnected Cooperative Tourism Policy Support Project' public contest for cities and counties, four projects from four cities/counties?Pocheon, Gimpo, Yangpyeong, and Gapyeong?were finally selected.

Looking at the projects by region, Pocheon City's 'Hantan River Smart Green Tourism Belt Creation' is a project to create a tourism belt connecting the Hantan River area including Pocheon, Yeoncheon, and Cheorwon.

Gimpo City's 'Gimpo City Tour Pilot Operation' project focuses on linking the city tour program, which was previously operated only within Gimpo, to neighboring cities such as Goyang and Paju. Yangpyeong County's 'Garden on the Water Yangpyeong' project aims to develop a representative tourist destination utilizing the Namhan River while connecting the tourism resources of Namyangju and Yeoju located along the Namhan River.

Additionally, Gapyeong County's 'Korea Camping Expo in Jaraseom' is a project focused on leading the camping leisure industry by regularly holding expos and camping-related issue meetings in Gapyeong, the local government with the largest registered campground nationwide.

A representative from the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization stated, "There is special significance in promoting tourism projects that transcend administrative boundaries," adding, "We expect the synergy effect of tourism projects to increase through multiple regions."

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization plans to conduct expert consulting and joint meetings with cities and counties selected for this year's projects to enhance understanding of interconnected cooperative tourism policies, and next year, it plans to open additional public contests for participating cities and counties.
