Hantan River Comprehensive Development Promotion Team Practical Kick-off Meeting

Gyeonggi Province held a practical kick-off meeting for the Hantangang Comprehensive Development Promotion Team.

On the 1st, Gyeonggi Province announced that it held a practical kick-off meeting for the 'Hantangang Comprehensive Development Promotion Team' at the Northern Government Complex of Gyeonggi Province Office, together with Pocheon City, Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Research Institute, and Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, to promote comprehensive development of the Hantangang River next year.

The Hantangang Comprehensive Development Promotion Team is an organization formed in November 2020 with the participation of Gyeonggi Province, Pocheon City, Yeoncheon County, and Gyeonggi Research Institute to establish a sustainable development foundation for the Hantangang River basin, taking advantage of the Hantangang River's designation as a UNESCO Global Geopark.

The Hantangang River basin spans Pocheon City, Yeoncheon County, and Cheorwon County in Gangwon Province, making systematic and comprehensive development promotion important.

Accordingly, Gyeonggi Province is jointly investing a total project cost of 41.5 billion KRW with Pocheon City and Yeoncheon County to create a 45.4 km Hantangang Columnar Jointing Trail to promote tourism activation along the Hantangang River.

The meeting was held to discover new projects for activating the Hantangang River next year, discuss support measures from Gyeonggi Province for cities and counties, and to receive project analysis and advice from experts.

Jangseok Cho, Director of Planning and Budget at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The comprehensive development promotion of the Hantangang River is a major axis for revitalizing tourism in northern Gyeonggi. The cooperative system among the province, cities/counties, and specialized institutions is very important." He added, "Regarding the 2024 Hantangang activation projects discussed at today's meeting, related organizations will cooperate to establish detailed plans going forward."
