[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyungpil] Two islands in Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do, Cheongsando and Saengildo, were included among the nine “Spring Islands You Want to Visit” selected by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Korea Island Promotion Agency on the 2nd.

The “Islands You Want to Visit” has been selected annually since 2015 by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to discover island tourism resources and make them accessible to tourists.

Starting this year, the Korea Island Promotion Agency, a specialized island research institution, has been selecting island travel destinations suitable for each season.

This year’s “Spring Islands You Want to Visit” were chosen based on three themes: “Chalkak Island,” where you can take life photos; “Animal Island,” where you can meet animals on the island; and “Family Island,” ideal for traveling with family.

Notably, Wando-gun was the only basic local government nationwide to have two islands, Cheongsando and Saengildo, selected this year.

Cheongsando was selected as “Chalkak Island” because the island’s yellow canola flowers and green barley waves in spring are recognized as life photo zones throughout the island.

Saengildo was chosen as a “Family Island,” perfect for traveling with family on special days, featuring a congratulatory LED board event for visitors celebrating birthdays and a large cake sculpture.

Seo Gil-su, Director of Tourism, said, “With May being Family Month, we expect more tourists than ever, and we hope visitors make good memories and heal while traveling on Cheongsando and Saengildo.”

Meanwhile, detailed travel information about the Spring Islands You Want to Visit can be found on the Korea Tourism Organization’s website, Korea Travel Online.

Additionally, the Korea Island Promotion Agency plans to hold various events such as prize giveaways through island promotion social media channels.
