[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 15th, Pohang City, Gyeongbuk Province, received the tournament flag as the next host city at the closing ceremony of the '15th National Marine Sports Festival,' held over four days from the 12th at Gunsan Bieungdo area.

Pohang City was selected as the host city for the '15th National Marine Sports Festival' last year, but the event was inevitably canceled due to COVID-19. Accordingly, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, after deliberation without a separate public contest procedure, reselected Pohang as the host city for the 2023 National Marine Sports Festival.

Hosted by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and Pohang City, and organized by the Korea Marine Boy Scouts Federation, the Marine Sports Festival is scheduled to feature four official events: yacht, canoe, fin swimming, and triathlon, along with about four additional unofficial events and more than ten experiential events.

Choi Muhyung, Director of the Marine Industry Division, said, “It is an honor to finally be able to hold the National Marine Sports Festival in Pohang, which was regrettably canceled last year due to COVID-19.”

He added, “As the event is held in Pohang, a city loved for marine leisure tourism, we plan to welcome many visitors with diverse and fresh attractions, introducing and allowing citizens and tourists to enjoy various marine sports.”
