On March 24, Pohang City held the 'Pohang-Style Unique Venue Plaque Award Ceremony' in the city hall's medium conference room, officially designating its Unique Venues and launching efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of its MICE industry.

The event was presided over by Jang Sangkil, Acting Mayor of Pohang, and was attended by around 20 officials from the MICE Industry Division and related departments, as well as representatives from relevant organizations.

A Unique Venue refers to a differentiated space where, in addition to official meetings at MICE events, official banquet programs such as dinners, welcoming events, and networking can be hosted.

The Unique Venues designated by Pohang City were selected based on the results of the 'Pohang-Style Unique Venue (PUV) Master Plan Study.' The three venues are: Space Walk (Hwanho Park), Yeonorang Seonyeo Theme Park (Gwi Bigo), and the Sabang Memorial Park.

These three selected venues are spaces that comprehensively embody Pohang's cultural, natural, and industrial assets. They have been recognized for their suitability as Unique Venues, thanks to their landscapes that harmonize sea and city, as well as favorable conditions for event operations.

The city plans to use this selection as an opportunity to step up promotion of its Unique Venues and to accumulate operational experience through pilot programs centered on small-scale meetings.

In addition, Pohang City intends to gradually enhance these Unique Venues as complex spaces capable of supporting MICE events, in connection with the upcoming Pohang International Exhibition & Convention Center (POEX), which is scheduled for completion in the future.

Jang Sangkil, Acting Mayor of Pohang, stated, "The selection of Unique Venues marks the official starting point of the Pohang-style MICE project. We will enhance our competitiveness in attracting international conferences and provide participants with unique experiences found only in Pohang."
