Goheung-gun Takes Initiative to Strengthen Competencies of Cultural Tourism Interpreters

Commitment to Leading Efforts for Revitalizing Goheung Tourism, Including Exploring Tourism Development Plans

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] On the 3rd, Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Gong Young-min) announced that it held a cultural tourism interpreter workshop under the theme "I am the moving brand of Goheung" at Goheung Sun Valley on the 2nd.

This workshop was organized to strengthen the expertise of tourism interpreters who play a key role as local tourism guides, boost morale, and improve the quality of cultural tourism services.

Currently, there are 18 cultural tourism interpreters in Goheung-gun, who are responsible for on-site interpretation at three major tourist spots frequently visited by tourists: Yeonhongdo, Ssukseom, and Sorokdo, and provide explanations about the overall local tourism resources.

The county invited professional instructors to the workshop to conduct various programs such as training on interpretation techniques and service capacity enhancement necessary for cultural tourism interpretation, harmony and communication sessions, and aroma healing time. Additionally, the interpreters shared their experiences and information through communication and exchanged opinions on tourism development plans.

A county official said, "With the opening of the Goheung-Yeosu land and island bridges and the arrival of the autumn foliage season, the number of tourists visiting Goheung is increasing, leading to a rise in demand for tourism interpretation services," adding, "We will strive to provide even better professional interpretation services through this workshop."

Meanwhile, cultural tourism interpretation services can be applied for through the Goheung Tourism website, and applications can be made regardless of the number of people if requested by groups of 10 or more tourists, schools, or institutions.
