[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] As travel demand explosively increases following the relaxation of quarantine guidelines and the transition to the phase of daily life recovery, Baealdo Island Garden is establishing itself as an attractive safe tourism destination.

Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do, announced that Baealdo Island Garden has been named a ‘2022 Safe Tourism Destination’ selected by the Korea Tourism Organization.

Baealdo Island Garden received high evaluations from experts for eco-friendliness, comfort, quarantine, and safety management, recognizing its suitability as a safe tourism destination.

Going forward, Baealdo Island Garden will be promoted through the special section ‘Recommended Safe Tourism Destinations’ on the travel information site ‘Korea Travel Easy’ operated by the Korea Tourism Organization.

Additionally, during Travel Month (June), tourism-related fairs, and special feature articles in daily newspapers, Baealdo Island Garden will meet travelers through various online and offline events operated and promoted by the Korea Tourism Organization.

Baealdo Island Garden is a charming romantic platform connecting Mangdeok Port and Baealdo Waterfront Park via two sea footbridges: Byeol Heneun Bridge and Haemaji Bridge.

Especially in May, Baealdo Island reveals the beauty of a fragrant island garden as peonies, hydrangeas, and dianthus bloom in succession.

The red Baealdo name photo zone, built on the green lawn in front of the island, is crowded with visitors eager to take commemorative photos.

Kim Seongsu, Director of the Tourism Division, said, “The selection of Baealdo Island Garden as a safe tourism destination is expected to respond to the rapid recovery of travel psychology and contribute to the creation and spread of a safe travel culture.”

He added, “While cultivating it as a beautiful island garden floating gently on the sea, we will protect it as an eco-friendly and safe tourism destination that cares for both people and the planet.”

Meanwhile, Baealdo Island Garden was also named one of the ‘2022 Spring Season Safe Tourism Destinations 25’ selected by the Korea Tourism Organization. To commemorate this, a spring concept photo zone has been installed, and an event using Gwangyang Tourism’s official Instagram ‘Gwangyang Tour’ is being held until the 31st.
