[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] Jo Myeong-rae, the 2nd Deputy Mayor of Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, is putting all his efforts into discovering new tourism resource development projects under the city administration goal of "Northeast Asia Central City Changwon."

On the 8th, marking 100 days since his inauguration, Deputy Mayor Jo visited key marine tourism development project sites such as the 3·15 Marine Nuri Park and Masan Marine New City to inspect the locations as part of his vision for developing tourism resources in Northeast Asia Central City Changwon.

This site inspection was arranged to directly visit the locations to examine site conditions and listen to local residents' opinions in order to discover demand-centered tourism resource development projects, amid changes in the tourism environment due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which requires the establishment of safe regional tourism infrastructure and the development of new tourism resources.

The city is drawing a future blueprint for marine tourism resource development in line with the trend of expanding economic zones utilizing the coastline.

By region, Masan Bay plans to create a tourism-themed garden in the center of Masan Marine New City connected to the 3·15 Marine Nuri Park, and develop it into a space where various marine leisure and marine culture experiences are possible by linking with marine tourism resources such as the Gusan Marine Tourism Complex, Jeodo Kwai River Bridge, Marine Drama Set, and Robot Land.

Jinhae Bay aims to attract stay-type tourists by expanding marine leisure infrastructure linked with Jinhae Marine Park’s Solar Park and Marine Biology Park, thereby revitalizing the local economy and establishing a foundation for future growth.

On the same day, Deputy Mayor Jo also visited Jinhae New Port, the largest national project site in Gyeongnam, to carefully check the progress. This project involves a total investment of 15 trillion won to develop Jinhae New Port into the world’s third-largest smart logistics hub port.

Deputy Mayor Jo said, “We will do our best to promote sustainable and advanced coastal development projects to strengthen regional competitiveness, revitalize the economy, and also lead balanced regional development.”

Since his inauguration on August 1 this year, Deputy Mayor Jo, who has run 100 days with meticulous work execution and communication-centered administration, has continued active communication efforts, such as skipping the official inauguration ceremony from the first day and immediately conducting administrative site inspections.
