Taean County in Chungnam has joined hands with three universities in the province, including Hanseo University, to leap forward as a marine healing tourism city in celebration of the "2025 Visit Taean Year."

On the 18th, the county held an "Exchange and Cooperation Agreement Ceremony between Taean County and Three Provincial Universities" at the county office's small conference room, attended by County Governor Gasero, relevant county officials, Kang Inhan, Vice President of Baekseok University, Jung Yoon, President of Chungwoon University, Jeong Hanseok, Vice President of Hanseo University, and about 20 others.

This agreement aims to ensure the successful operation of the Taean Marine Healing Center, which is scheduled to open in the second half of this year. The county plans to conduct joint research and personnel exchanges with these universities and to focus on nurturing local talent.

According to the agreement, Taean County and the three universities will promote ▲ the cultivation of professionals based on marine healing, culture, and ecological resources ▲ the expansion of education, research, and personnel exchange in the fields of marine healing and leisure tourism ▲ cooperation for visits to Taean during the "Visit Taean Year."

Through this collaboration, the county aims to focus on local branding, regional festivals, and the development and utilization of specialized content using the region's marine healing and marine leisure tourism resources, as well as to foster residential professionals based on local historical and cultural assets.

In addition, the county plans to actively utilize the universities' abundant research resources to promote tourism in connection with "island specialization projects," such as on Gaido Island.

Governor Gasero stated, "This agreement will greatly contribute not only to revitalizing tourism in Taean County but also to fostering talent and advancing education in the local community," adding, "We will continue to pursue active exchange and cooperation with related institutions to ensure the successful operation of the Visit Taean Year and the smooth opening of the Taean Marine Healing Center."

Meanwhile, the Taean Marine Healing Center is a comprehensive facility currently under construction in the Dalsanpo Sports Park area of Nam-myeon. It will operate a variety of marine healing programs utilizing Taean's natural marine healing resources, such as peat, salt, and saline groundwater.

The facility will have one basement floor and two above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 8,478 square meters. After construction is completed, it will undergo a two-month trial operation, with the official opening scheduled for the second half of this year.
