[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 24th that Tongyeong City, Sacheon City, and Hamyang County were selected for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's '2022 Living Tourism Revitalization Contest Project.'

The Living Tourism Revitalization Project supports the development and operation of tourism content and programs, training of professionals, and promotion and marketing support. Through this, it helps move beyond tourism that is simply about seeing and hearing, enabling the discovery of unique lifestyles and stories specific to the region.

To ensure the sustainability of the project, from the planning stage to the operation of tourism commercialization projects, it collaborates with local-based companies and businesses to promote stay-type tourism linked to local attractions.

Among the nine local governments nationwide selected for this project, Tongyeong's 'Seulgiroun Seommaeul Saenghwal' (Wise Island Village Life), Sacheon's 'Byeoljubujeon Bito Island,' and Hamyang's 'Hamyang on Day' were chosen.

Additionally, Hadong County's 'Dadali Hadong,' which was selected in the 2019 project, was recognized as an excellent project in the evaluation and is expected to receive national funding again next year.

Shim Sang-chul, Director of the Tourism Promotion Division of the province, said, "We will actively promote so that many tourists can participate while staying in Gyeongnam for a certain period and feel the charm of Gyeongnam," adding, "We will develop it into an essential tourist course for traveling in Gyeongnam through collaboration with residents."
