Muan County in South Jeolla Province has announced the official decision for the Doripo District Unit Plan and the approval of the topographic map for Songseok-ri, Haeje-myeon, thereby completing the administrative procedures required to promote the Doripo Resort development project.

On March 5, the county announced through a public notice that it had finalized the district unit plan for the Doripo Resort development project. The project will see approximately KRW 240 billion in private capital invested to develop a comprehensive tourism and leisure complex on a 46,568 square meter site in San 9-1, Songseok-ri, Haeje-myeon.

Doripo Kaipa Co., Ltd., the project developer, has been carrying out relevant administrative procedures such as amendments to the county management plan and reviews by the Urban Planning Committee since signing an investment agreement with South Jeolla Province and Muan County in April 2022.

In May last year, the South Jeolla Province Urban Planning Committee lifted the designation of the area as a fisheries resource protection zone upon re-examination, and in September of the same year, the district unit plan was approved by the joint Urban Planning and Architecture Committee of Muan County.

The resort is planned to be a comprehensive leisure facility including 245 hotel rooms, 105 pool villa rooms, and banquet halls, providing accommodation and cultural facilities. The developer plans to proceed with construction after obtaining building permits, aiming for completion in the second half of 2027.

The county is also promoting the Haeje Doripo Tourism Landmark Project and the Southwest Coast Premium Landscape Project in the surrounding Songseok-ri area. Tourism convenience facilities such as tourist information centers, sunset observatories, pine forest maintenance, marine exploration decks, and parking lots will be expanded in stages.

Kim San, Governor of Muan County, stated, "We will continue to provide administrative support to ensure the smooth progress of the Doripo Resort development project," adding, "We expect that expanding the tourism infrastructure will also help revitalize local tourism."
