This training was prepared to operate ecological tourism and ecological education programs led by residents by utilizing the abundant ecological resources around Baekgeumpo in Gangjin Bay.

The course, designed to enhance the knowledge and capabilities to provide friendly explanations to local residents and tourists, will be held in a total of 10 sessions until December.

The curriculum consists of the concept and cases of ecological tourism for regional revitalization, the attitude of ecological tourism docents, understanding the ecology, history, and culture of Baekgeumpo, workshops and practical training for program development.

Training ecological tourism docents who can serve as ecological activists and village guides simultaneously is expected to establish a foundation for resident-led ecological tourism and improve residents' income.

Meanwhile, Gangjin-gun plans to establish a base facility themed on ecology in the preliminary urban regeneration project area of Gundo-myeon and commercialize ecological tourism and education as a business model in cooperation with village residents.
