The Fishing Village New Vitality Promotion Project aims to create new jobs and improve residential environments in fishing villages that are losing vitality due to population decline and aging, while also strengthening the multifaceted functions of marine tourism and fishing village experiences. Through this project, the city aims to realize its vision of a "fishing village where people want to live and visit," and will accelerate efforts to establish a hub for marine tourism.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Through the Fishing Village New Vitality Promotion Project, these areas will be transformed into complex marine spaces where residents and tourists can come together," adding, "We will create a sustainable and vibrant fishing village based on resident participation."
