The consulting period will be about six months, from July to December, during which the private investment attraction business plan for the project site will be concretized. The Korea Tourism Organization plans to hold an expo at the end of the year to support investment attraction.

The selected project sites are broadly divided into two zones: the Nam-myeon area of Namhae-gun will be developed as a Mediterranean-style coastal scenic tourism hub, and the Seomyeon area, where the Namhae-Yeosu Undersea Tunnel connects, will be developed as a healing marine leisure tourism city.

Governor Jang Chung-nam said, "Being selected for this public contest is expected to serve as an opportunity to devise solutions for attracting private investment for Namhae-gun's large-scale tourism projects in line with the opening of the Namhae-Yeosu Undersea Tunnel," adding, "Furthermore, we will do our utmost to establish Namhae-gun as a leader in the Namhaean tourism era."
