[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province has broken ground for the construction of a ‘Marine Healing Center’.


On the 18th, the province held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Marine Healing Center at Dalsanpo Sports Park in Taean, Chungnam. The Marine Healing Center will be built in Dalsan-ri, Nam-myeon, Taean-gun, with one basement floor and two above-ground floors (building area of 3,628.03㎡).


The province was selected in 2017 through a Marine Healing contest hosted by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to build the Marine Healing Center. Completion is targeted for December 2024, with a construction budget of 34 billion KRW, including national and local funds.


After completion, the Marine Healing Center will operate as a comprehensive marine healing facility that utilizes marine resources such as mudflats, saline groundwater, and marine organisms to promote physical and mental health.


The Marine Healing Center will include a seawater pool, 13 treatment facilities, 23 lodging rooms, and convenience facilities. Various healing programs will be offered here, including beach Nordic walking and beach yoga that incorporate Dalsanpo Beach and the nearby Gomsolgil Pine Trail, as well as healthcare programs utilizing marine resources.


Above all, the province plans to use the Marine Healing Center as a hub to connect marine resources and leisure and tourism complexes distributed throughout the region, laying the groundwork for establishing a West Coast Marine Healing Belt.



Yang Seung-jo, Governor of Chungnam Province, said, “We expect the construction of the Marine Healing Center to become a solid stepping stone for Taean’s growth,” adding, “The province will ensure that the Marine Healing Center does not remain merely a tourism and recreation space but becomes a foundation for new prosperity and growth in the Pan-Yellow Sea era.”
