Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, is making swift progress in designing a solid county administration ahead of the '2025 Imsil Visit Year.'

According to the county on the 25th, from the 14th, a two-week-long major departmental work report meeting for the next year was held under the chairmanship of County Governor Sim Min, and discussions were conducted.

This report meeting focused on a thorough review of project effectiveness and efficient budget allocation, considering the shortage of resources such as the decrease in local allocation tax. In particular, preparations for the '2025 Imsil Visit Year' and plans to realize the 'Ten Million Tourism Imsil Era,' promised by Governor Sim to the residents at the launch of the 8th local government, were also reviewed.

This year, the county achieved record-breaking results with 580,000 visitors over four days at the Imsil N Cheese Festival and expects more than 500,000 visitors at Bungeo Island by the end of the year. Based on this, there is a firm commitment to open the 'Ten Million Tourism Imsil Era' next year.

To this end, plans include building a premium tourism belt through projects such as the development of the Okjeongho area including private developments like hotels and cable cars, the creation of a large kids' land at the Imsil Cheese Theme Park, reinforcement of rural theme park facilities, and the full-scale implementation of the World Famous Dog Theme Land project.

Additionally, residential environment improvement projects are expected to be in full swing from next year. The currently underway Residential Vitality Complex Center is scheduled to begin construction in the second half of next year, and the county will actively respond to the ongoing public contest for the Ido District urban regeneration project, aiming for a revolutionary transformation of the old downtown of Imsil-eup.

Efforts will also be made to improve housing welfare and attract population. The public rental apartments in Gwanchon and Osu will begin construction in the first half of next year, supplying 120 units in Gwanchon and 80 units in Osu. The Imsil public rental apartments will also start construction promptly through organic cooperation with the Jeonbuk Development Corporation.

The county plans to increase support for dairy product school meals from twice to three times a week so that students can focus on their studies healthily. It is also considering expanding its own child allowance support and senior citizens' hairdressing fee support from 4 times to 6 times a year. Furthermore, various cultural, artistic, and sports facilities will be expanded to broaden the base. The county will actively attract foreign seasonal workers to enhance agricultural competitiveness and improve farmers' welfare.

Sim Min, Governor of Imsil-gun, said, "Next year will be a very important year as the inaugural year of the 'Ten Million Tourism Imsil Era.' I hope preparations are carefully reviewed to ensure no shortcomings in implementation, and that efforts are made to promote it to the fullest."
