Candidate Woo Seung-hee 'Connecting Diverse Cultural Tourism Resources to Income Generation'

Activating Tourism Focused on 'Environment and Ecology' in Line with Changing Tourism Trends

[Yeongam=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Woo Seung-hee, the Democratic Party candidate for Yeongam County Governor in Jeonnam, appealed for last-minute support from the residents today (30th), two days before the 8th nationwide simultaneous local elections, emphasizing Wolchulsan Mountain, historical and cultural resources, tourism revitalization, and cultural arts policies.

Candidate Woo Seung-hee stated, “Currently, Yeongam urgently needs measures to overcome climate change, overproduction of agricultural products, the risk of local extinction, and low financial independence,” and emphasized, “I will connect various cultural and tourism resources to income generation.”

He continued, “Since Wolchulsan was designated as a national park in 1988, development projects have not been properly carried out, and there is not even a natural recreation forest, resulting in low utilization despite abundant resources,” adding, “I will establish a ‘Cultural Tourism Foundation’ responsible for utilizing Yeongam’s tangible and intangible cultural and historical resources and revitalizing tourism, including Wolchulsan, to make Yeongam the cultural tourism hub of the Namdo region.”

In particular, Candidate Woo emphasized, “Since COVID-19, tourism has centered on the environment and ecology, with walking tours such as ‘Dulle-gil walking trails,’ camping, car camping, and glamping becoming mainstream tourism,” and stressed, “We must find new methods beyond traditional practices in line with changing tourism trends.”

Additionally, Candidate Woo promised to link Yeongam’s abundant agricultural specialties and cultural tourism resources to residents’ income by establishing ▶an Agricultural Products Specialized Distribution Corporation ▶hosting a National Park Expo and Moonlight Festival ▶constructing a Cultural Arts Center ▶revitalizing Mahan historical and cultural tourism ▶attracting a Cultural Arts Theme Park ▶creating the Gurim Tourism and Cultural Special Zone ▶restoring Yeongam Eupseong Fortress.
