Haenam-gun Transforms Ttangkkeut Tourist Site into a Stylish Stay-Type Facility

Groundbreaking Ceremony for the 10 Billion KRW "Reforming Ttangkkeut Haenam" Development Project

Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, will begin construction this month on the ‘Ttangkkeut Tourist Site Reform Project,’ a tourism infrastructure improvement initiative for Ttangkkeut Tourist Site, the starting point of South Korea.

According to the county on the 19th, this project, with a total budget of 10 billion KRW invested through the Jeonnam-type regional growth strategy, aims to innovate local tourism infrastructure and discover tourist satisfaction programs to revitalize the aging Ttangkkeut Tourist Site.

Ttangkkeut Tourist Site, the starting point of the Korean Peninsula, boasts a unique natural environment due to its geographical conditions and an irreplaceable status in cultural tourism. Although it is Haenam’s representative tourist attraction visited by more than 800,000 tourists annually, the facilities have become outdated, and there is a lack of experiential programs, making it a tourist site in need of renewal.

This project aims to activate stay-type tourism by improving Ttangkkeut Hwangto Nara Theme Village and the auto camping site, the representative accommodation and leisure facilities of Ttangkkeut Tourist Site, by renovating aging facilities and introducing new leisure facilities.

The main project contents include remodeling Jinmi Special Market and the workshop village in Hwangto Nara Theme Village, creating a caravan zone, and maintaining walking trails for Songho Village residents and tourists.

Additionally, the plan is to actively utilize the region’s natural environment and cultural heritage to provide various tourism contents and programs, create diverse themed spaces, and expand and remodel the auto camping site to improve the quality of camping experiences. New facilities will include the addition of a caravan zone and water play facilities to expand spaces where family groups or group tourists can stay.

Currently, the project has commenced in various fields such as civil engineering, architecture, electricity, and telecommunications, and is scheduled to be completed by March next year.

A county official said, “We ask for much interest in the progress of this project to establish Ttangkkeut Tourist Site, representing Haenam, as a new stay-type tourist attraction.”
