[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 26th that it held the ‘Final Report Meeting on the Feasibility Study for the Gamaksan Resident Income Generation Project’ at the county office situation room, attended by about 10 people including County Governor Gu In-mo, local residents, and related officials.

The feasibility study for the Gamaksan Resident Income Generation Project was promoted due to the need to discover sustainable mid- to long-term projects in the Gamaksan area and income generation projects for village residents, targeting many external visitors who come to see Aster, Small Chrysanthemum, and Korean Chrysanthemum planted at the summit of Gamaksan in Geochang-gun.

The report meeting reflected opinions from the interim report meeting held in September and proceeded with proposals and explanations on phased projects such as creating village enterprises, developing food products, and expanding infrastructure, followed by an exchange of opinions among attendees.

At the meeting, County Governor Gu In-mo said, “As the Korean proverb goes, ‘Even if you have three mal of beads, they are only treasures if strung together,’ meaning that good policies are useless without practical action,” and urged, “I ask the administration and village residents to work together to make good projects the treasures of the county.”

Since Governor Gu In-mo took office, Gamaksan has been actively planted with Aster and other flowers to create attractions, and during this year’s month-long Flower & Star Travel event period (September to October), about 100,000 people from across the country visited, making it a representative tourist attraction of Geochang-gun.

Starting next year, the county plans to open an era of one million forest recreation tourists by annually promoting various projects such as creating a barrier-free trail with a total project cost of 3.268 billion KRW, building a wellness tourism hub center linking Geochang, Hamyang, and Hapcheon, planting wildflowers in the forest, and installing nighttime lighting facilities.
