Assemblyman Kim Hoe-jae, "A National Maritime and Fisheries Museum Must Be Built at Yeosu Expo Site"

Rep. Kim: "Optimal Location for Yeosu Expo Site ... The Way to Showcase the Spirit of the 2012 Expo to the World"

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] Kim Hoe-jae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea (Yeosu City Eul, Jeonnam), issued a statement on the 30th calling for the National Maritime Fisheries Museum to be established at the Yeosu Expo site.

In the statement, Rep. Kim said, "Yeosu is undoubtedly a marine culture tourism hub city expected to attract 12 million tourists this year," adding, "The National Maritime Fisheries Museum should be built in Yeosu, where visitors can enjoy the 'Yeosu Night Sea,' the 'Rias coastline of the South Sea,' and the 'scenery of the Dadohae (archipelago)."

Rep. Kim stated, "The Yeosu Expo site is in the best transportation location, just a 10-minute walk from KTX Yeosu Expo Station and less than a 20-minute drive from Yeosu Airport," and added, "Through the National Maritime Fisheries Museum to be built at the Yeosu Expo site, we can once again show the world the values of the 2012 Yeosu Expo's 'Living Sea, Breathing Coast' and the Yeosu Declaration's commitment to marine environment conservation and sustainable development."

He continued, "The establishment of the National Maritime Fisheries Museum is also necessary for the post-use of the Yeosu Expo site, which Yeosu citizens desire," and said, "The National Maritime Fisheries Museum at the Yeosu Expo site presents an opportunity to propose a new paradigm for public development."

He also said, "Once the Yeosu-Namhae Undersea Tunnel is completed, people from both Yeongnam and Honam regions will be able to easily visit the National Maritime Fisheries Museum, which will contribute to balanced regional development and create a win-win synergy effect between regions," and added, "I will do my best to ensure that the National Maritime Fisheries Museum is established at the Yeosu Expo site."
