[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Andong City in Gyeongbuk will hold a tourism business briefing session at 2 p.m. on the 15th at Modi684 for a sustainable tourism industry centered on enterprises.

Organized by the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Korean Spirit and Culture, this briefing session was prepared to open a channel for local tourism companies to actively participate in the tourism hub city project and to provide necessary information.

The 2022 project budget for Andong City's tourism hub city is 22.8 billion KRW. This project will be promoted until 2025, with a total budget of approximately 97.5 billion KRW.

The briefing session will introduce an outline of about 20 different projects. Not only workers directly related to tourism such as tourist sites, restaurants, cafes, accommodations, and experiences but also those indirectly connected such as performance businesses, advertising, and video media will gather together.

An official from Andong City's Tourism Promotion Division said, "We hope local tourism companies will participate more competitively in Andong's tourism projects, and we will lay the cornerstone for transparent administration and proper project execution in the tourism industry."

The Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Korean Spirit and Culture emphasized, "This is an opportunity to use the tourism hub city project as seed money to maintain the sustainability of local tourism and enhance competitiveness."

They also said, "We expect a new ecosystem for Andong tourism to be created by leveraging opportunities such as the opening of the Jungang Line KTX, operation of the three major cultural zones projects, and revitalization of the new provincial government area and Andong cultural tourism complex."
