[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] The Gyeongnam Tourism Industry Research Association, a research group of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council members, conducted a field survey from the 2nd to the 3rd in Geoje City, a major tourist destination in the province, to examine the current status of tourism.

This on-site activity was organized to visit representative tourist sites in the province during the vacation season, as the local tourism industry, which had been shrinking due to COVID-19 for some time, has just begun to recover following the lifting of social distancing measures. The purpose was to listen to difficulties faced on-site and to seek ways to revitalize and support the tourism industry in the future.

The research group visited the Geoje Panorama Cable Car, which opened in March, to hear about its operational status and challenges.

Next, the group visited the Geoje City Council and held a meeting with Chairman Yoon Bu-won to discuss tourism industry development plans and support measures at the Gyeongnam provincial level.

Additionally, the research group visited Isudo Island, well known for its ‘1 night 3 meals’ concept, to study cases of developing tourism food products specialized for the region.

Jo Young-myung, chairman of the Gyeongnam Tourism Industry Research Association, said, “The 12th Provincial Council members’ research group, the Gyeongnam Tourism Industry Research Association, was formed and conducted its first field activity.” He added, “We will do our best to actively listen to difficulties on-site by visiting local festivals and major tourist sites and to prepare support measures or related policies.”

Meanwhile, the Gyeongnam Tourism Industry Research Association, one of the research groups of the 12th Provincial Council, was established on July 26 and plans to continue active activities to revitalize the local tourism industry.
