[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 7th that the Hwangmaesan Green Culture Experience Zone Development Project has passed the National Assembly Budget and Accounts Committee review, securing a total project cost of 10 billion KRW.

This project is part of the Baekdudaegan Regional Development Comprehensive Plan, which sets four main strategies: ▲advancement of local industries and creation of new industries ▲convergence-type green leisure belt ▲sustainable green environment ▲network-type space through maximized connectivity.

The Hapcheon Hwangmaesan Green Culture Experience Zone Development Project is a project with a total budget of 10 billion KRW (5 billion KRW national funds, 1.5 billion KRW provincial funds, 3.5 billion KRW county funds) to complete by 2024 a camping complex parking lot in Hageum-ri, Daebyeong-myeon, treehouses (wooden lodging facilities), and forest leisure facilities.

Hapcheon Hwangmaesan is known for its distinctive natural scenery, including one of the three great mountains for azaleas, silver grass in autumn, and a 50-hectare pine tree cluster over 30 years old, attracting increasing visitors annually. However, it has been pointed out that the lack of lodging facilities makes it difficult to provide forest recreation opportunities.

Jung Dae-geun, head of the Forestry Division, said, “This project aims to promote local population inflow and economic vitality and systematically respond to the crisis of local extinction,” adding, “We will contribute to balanced development through interregional cooperation.”
