[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced on the 28th that it plans to create a Seashore Path of Salicornia in Seokmodo, Ganghwa-gun by the second half of next year.

The city plans to complete consultations on the use of the simple sea area and the detailed design service by next month, and then begin construction in early next year.

The mudflats of Seokmodo form a spectacular sight every autumn as the Salicornia colonies turn the area red. In 2020, it was selected as one of the top 100 non-face-to-face autumn tourist destinations by the Korea Tourism Organization.

In preparation for an increase in tourists in the post-COVID era, the city plans to create Salicornia colonies, green spaces, and photo zones here to preserve the marine ecosystem and attract more visitors.

An official from Incheon City stated, "We will successfully complete the project so that citizens can enjoy the scenery of the Salicornia colonies in a more pleasant and safe environment."

Meanwhile, last April, the city established and is promoting the '2030 Sea Connection, Incheon Marine Waterfront City Master Plan,' which includes 39 new projects in the short, medium, and long term to improve citizens' access to waterfront spaces and expand coastal connections.
