The survey evaluated the attractiveness of travel resources in each region (places to rest, sights to see, food to eat, activities to enjoy, goods to buy) and the comfort of the travel environment (cleanliness/hygiene, convenience facilities, transportation), asking about satisfaction and willingness to recommend, and calculated an overall satisfaction score.

As a result, Wando-gun received high scores in food and goods, ranking 2nd among local governments in the Jeolla region with a total score of 724 points (out of 1000).

Nationally, its ranking rose significantly to 25th, with little score difference between 11th and 31st places.

A county official said, "Wando is rich in specialties such as abalone and kelp grown in the clean sea, and especially offers a variety of dishes using abalone, including sashimi, steamed, cold raw fish soup, and grilled dishes." He added, "We will strive to develop tourism products linked to marine healing so that travelers can heal and the county can become a representative wellness tourism destination in Korea."
