Jeonnam Province Breaks Ground on 'Marine Complex Center'... Expected to Become a Hub for Marine Leisure Tourism
484 Billion KRW Invested by 2025... Underground 1st Floor to Aboveground 4th Floor Scale
Facilities Including Diving, Surfing, and Skin Scuba Pools... Supporting Marine Leisure Activities
Jeonnam Province has taken the first step to become a hub for marine leisure tourism.
The province announced on the 13th that the marine complex center in Boseong, promoted as a key project for marine leisure tourism, has begun construction at Yulpo Pine Beach.
The marine leisure tourism hub project was initiated to create regional hubs that meet the increasing demand for marine tourism and to establish attractions enjoyed by both domestic and international visitors year-round.
Boseong County, selected through a public contest in 2019, plans to invest a total budget of 48.4 billion KRW from 2020 to 2025 to build a marine complex center with one basement floor and four above-ground floors.
Supporting various marine leisure activities such as diving and surfing, the center will feature the nation’s largest skin scuba pool (41.5m), a diving lounge, an infinity pool, a toddler pool, a survival swimming pool, and indoor surfing facilities, making it a destination where marine leisure can be enjoyed regardless of the season.
Through this, Boseong County is expected to emerge as a new center of the marine leisure tourism industry, revitalizing the local economy.
In particular, the Yulpo Promenade project, selected in the population extinction response fund contest, the Southern Region Wide-area Tourism Development project, and the Yulpo Marine Tourism Complex linkage project will be actively promoted with the goal of becoming the core of the global South Coast tourism belt.
This project is expected not only to establish Boseong as a mecca of the marine leisure industry attracting domestic and international tourists but also to become a new driving force for the development of marine leisure in Jeonnam Province and South Korea.
