Shinan-gun Promotes Establishment of Fair Tourism Local Government Council

Pursuing Win-Win for Tourists, Residents, and Nature Through Fair Tourism

[Sinan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, is taking the lead in promoting fair tourism to foster a sustainable tourism industry.

On the 23rd, 14 local government heads from across the country, including the Sinan County Governor, attended a preparatory meeting of the Fair Tourism Local Government Council held via video conference.

Thirty-three local governments nationwide have expressed their intention to participate in the council, and it is expected that up to 50 will join before its establishment.

Fair tourism is based on the motto of fairly distributing the profits generated from tourism and ensuring fair transactions. Through this, it seeks the coexistence of local residents' lives, culture, and the natural environment.

The attending local government heads recognized the necessity of forming the Fair Tourism Local Government Council and agreed to join forces to revitalize fair tourism.

Joint cooperative projects will include joint research on fair tourism, improvement of laws and systems, solidarity and cooperation, and nationwide touring forums.

A Sinan-gun official stated, “Fair tourism, which has recently become a hot topic, is not simply about seeing and enjoying but is an innovative solution to solve local problems,” adding, “We will take the lead in activating a sustainable tourism industry in harmony with nature, with the participation of tourists and local residents.”

Meanwhile, the Fair Tourism Local Government Council is scheduled to hold its inauguration ceremony at the National Assembly on the 21st of next month and begin official activities.
