[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The project to develop Yeongjong International City in the Incheon Free Economic Zone into a global tourist destination is gaining momentum.

On the 28th, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority held a kickoff meeting for the Yeongjong International City tourism development project at the second government building in Jung-gu, Incheon, attended by Incheon Mayor Park Namchun and Authority Chief Lee Wonjae.

At the meeting, explanations and feedback were gathered regarding experiential tourism development projects such as media facade displays centered on the Third Yeongjong Bridge, zip lines, edge walks, nighttime scenery around Seaside Park and Songsan area, and park golf courses.

The projects around Seaside Park and Songsan are expected to be completed by next year, while the tourism development of the Third Yeongjong Bridge is scheduled to be finished by 2025.

In particular, the main tower of the Third Yeongjong Bridge, scheduled to open in 2025, will feature a 180-meter-high bridge observatory, the tallest in the world, which is expected to attract both domestic and international tourists.

The construction project of the Third Yeongjong Bridge, connecting Yeongjongdo and Cheongna International City, began its main construction for sections 1 and 2 in December last year and is progressing smoothly. The bridge will be 4.7 km long with six lanes (three lanes each way) and is scheduled for completion in December 2025.

Mayor Park said, "We will make the Third Yeongjong Bridge a new landmark of Incheon and add various experiential facilities to Seaside Park to transform Yeongjong into a destination where transportation, culture, and tourism converge."
