[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 13th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that Juknokwon, the county's representative tourist destination, has achieved the great feat of being selected for the 'Korea Tourism 100' for five consecutive times.

The 'Korea Tourism 100' is a project jointly conducted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization since 2013, selecting 100 representative domestic tourist destinations every two years to promote them as must-visit places for both Koreans and foreigners.

With this selection, Juknokwon has been chosen for five consecutive times since 2015, solidifying its position as a representative tourist destination in Korea.

Last year, loved by 600,000 visitors, Juknokwon has transformed into a complex cultural and artistic space where travelers can rest and experience various cultural contents, featuring a bamboo forest walking trail of about 94,000 pyeong, Sagunja Garden, Siga Culture Village, Lee Inam Art Center Hanok Experience Center, and a Hanok cafe.

Additionally, it has been recognized for its preservation value as a heritage site, designated as a 'National Forest Cultural Asset' in 2018, registered as a Jeonnam local garden in 2019, and designated as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System in 2020.

County Governor Lee Byeongno said, "I hope Juknokwon, where nature and culture harmonize, becomes a comfortable sanctuary that heals weary minds and bodies," and added, "We will enhance competitiveness through diversified tourism marketing strategies by creating night-themed tourism at Gwanbangjerim and Meta Land and discovering various experiential and stay-type tourism contents."
