Fisheries and Coastal Fisheries Development Institute Conducts Rating Review for Coastal Tourism Projects

From the 29th, approximately 2 months of progress
33 villages subject to review this year

The Korea Fisheries Infrastructure Public Agency announced on the 27th that it will conduct grading for fishing village tourism projects for about two months starting from the 29th. Fishing experience and recreation villages are villages that provide services such as experience programs, accommodation, and food that align with tourism demand and trends by linking the natural environment or traditional culture of fishing village areas. There are 125 such villages nationwide.

The grading system, introduced in 2015, requires fishing experience and recreation villages to be evaluated in at least one category, including the experience category. This year, 33 villages are subject to grading. The common category of 'Environment and Service' as well as the experience, accommodation, and food categories are assessed according to evaluation criteria, and grades from 1 to 3 are assigned for each category. The assigned grades are valid for three years. In particular, this year, a 'mid-term inspection' will also be conducted concurrently to evaluate whether the service level corresponding to the assigned grade is maintained for 26 villages in their second year after receiving a grade.
