[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 19th that 'Dadae Village, Geoje, Gyeongnam' has been selected as this year's outstanding fishing village experience village.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries will hold the '2021 Fishing Village Tourism Revitalization Online Workshop' on the 20th, where it will select and award the fishing village experience and recreation village, managers, and excellent sea interpreters who have achieved the best results this year.

Dadae Village, Geoje, Gyeongnam, which won the grand prize this year, was highly evaluated for offering experiences such as mudflat and opening net fishing, and for allowing visitors to taste fishermen's meals made with various seaweeds, abalone, conch, and other village specialties. It was also praised for its thorough quarantine and hygiene management, which has allowed family visitors to feel safe and continue visiting the village steadily.

The grand prize winner for excellence was 'Muchangpo Village, Boryeong, Chungnam,' which has high visitor satisfaction with its mysterious sea road and can train. The excellence awards went to 'Jukrim Village, Jindo, Jeonnam,' which preserves the atmosphere of fishing villages well; 'Tappo Village, Geoje, Gyeongnam,' which offers specialized fishing experiences; and 'Gungpyeong Village, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi,' which operates a local food restaurant that captures both taste and hygiene.

Additionally, at this workshop, 16 public institutions that have signed the 'Fishing Village Social Value Virtuous Cycle' agreement with fishing village experience and recreation villages struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic will attend. They will share major activity cases and discuss ways to expand achievements, including marine environment cleanup activities, purchasing village specialties, and donating quarantine supplies.

Choi Jongwook, Director of the Fishing Village and Port Division at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, stated, "We will further expand the social value virtuous cycle agreement with public institutions so that our fishing village experience and recreation villages can bring new vitality to fishing villages."
