[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, is in full swing preparing to welcome tourists to regain its reputation as a major tourism hub in South Korea.

On the 20th, the city plans to focus on enhancing the city image and preparing to accommodate tourists, anticipating an increase in tourist visits following the easing of COVID-19 social distancing measures.

The city will clean up garbage and maintain small-scale landscapes in major tourist spots such as Yudalsan, Samhakdo, Bukhang, and Peace Plaza, as well as in areas dense with hygiene businesses, vacant lots, and vulnerable areas, while also removing illegal advertisements along roadsides.

In addition, efforts will be made to eradicate habitual solicitation and unfair charges at some restaurants and lodging facilities, as well as to improve the friendliness of transportation workers.

The city will also promote policies that encourage voluntary participation, such as relay campaigns by social organizations, challenge campaigns, and SNS events.

A city official said, “We will devote our efforts to preparing for welcoming tourists to seize the opportunity of the With-Corona era to revitalize Mokpo tourism,” and added, “We ask for the participation of all citizens in establishing a system to accommodate tourists.”
