Gochang-gun Ramsar Tidal Flat Center Selected as 'Winter Safe Tourism Destination'

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] The Ramsar Gochang Mudflat Center in Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, has been selected as a '2021 Winter Season Non-Face-to-Face Safe Tourist Destination.'

According to the county on the 27th, the Korea Tourism Organization recently selected 25 places nationwide, including the Ramsar Gochang Mudflat Center in Gochang-gun, as non-face-to-face safe tourist destinations for the 2021 winter season.

The Ramsar Gochang Mudflat Center, registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site last July, is a place where visitors can enjoy the pleasure of becoming one with nature.

Visitors can experience everything about the mudflats through the exhibition hall, mudflat exploration trails, and experiential programs.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy the beautiful winter scenery of the West Coast during winter at Gochang’s coastal attractions such as Shenieo, Gochang Mudflat, and Myeongsasimni Beach.

With the winter vacation approaching, it is hoped that families will visit the fun and educational Gochang Mudflat Ramsar Center, embark on a winter trip, enjoy the year-end and New Year holidays, and create lasting memories.

The county is emerging as a safe tourist destination that is not crowded in the COVID-19 era.

Gochang Byeongbawi and Duamchodang were included as non-face-to-face safe tourist destinations selected by the Korea Tourism Organization in the spring season, and Ungok Ramsar Wetland was selected for the summer season.

'Byeongbawi (Nationally Designated Cultural Property Scenic Site)' has a peculiar shape that looks like an upside-down bottle or, from a distance, like a human face.

It is possible to observe the ecology of Jujincheon, which connects the 'Tafoni,' a representative feature of geological rock weathering, and the 'Incheon River Estuary Wetland.'

'Ungok Ramsar Wetland' communicated with people worldwide by being consecutively selected this year as one of the 'Top 100 Tourist Destinations in the World (EU-affiliated organization)' and the 'World's Best Tourism Village (UNWTO).'

Na Cheolju, Director of the Cultural Heritage Tourism Division, said, "Gochang’s tourist destinations have been selected as non-face-to-face safe tourist destinations in each season," adding, "We will continue to actively promote tourism and do our best in disinfecting tourist sites to prevent COVID-19, seeking wise tourist spots that can heal the mind and body tired from COVID-19 and help maintain health."
