With approximately 71 days remaining until the opening of the provincial sports event and about 46 days until the disabled sports festival, Donghae City is focusing its administrative resources not only on managing the competitions but also on inspecting the city's overall capacity to accommodate visitors.

The city is finalizing the maintenance of sports facilities and the preparations for each event category, while enhancing completeness through on-site inspections and operational rehearsals that simulate actual competition scenarios.

To ensure that athletes can concentrate fully on their competitions in optimal conditions, the layout of sports venues and the deployment of operational staff are being meticulously adjusted.

In addition, the city is conducting thorough checks on urban infrastructure related to lodging, dining, and transportation for visitors. Donghae is cooperating with local accommodation providers to secure adequate rooms and manage service quality, while also working to improve restaurant hygiene and customer friendliness.

In the transportation sector, operational plans are being established to facilitate movement between venues, along with efforts to disperse traffic in congested areas and strengthen parking management and the overall transportation response system.

Safety management is also regarded as a key task. Donghae City is working in collaboration with police, fire departments, and medical institutions to develop safety management plans for each venue and to strengthen emergency response and medical support systems. Additionally, the city is reviewing response manuals for weather-related situations and conducting disaster prevention activities in parallel.

The volunteer and citizen participation systems are also being fully activated. Donghae is refining its volunteer management system and enhancing on-site response capabilities, while planning to expand various participation programs and promotional activities to foster a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for the sports events.

In particular, the city is preparing to use this event as an opportunity to boost the local economy and tourism, going beyond just a sports festival. By implementing visitor engagement strategies that connect lodging, dining, tourism, and commercial districts, Donghae aims to channel event-driven demand into the regional economy and simultaneously promote the city's competitiveness and tourist appeal.

Going forward, Donghae City plans to sequentially release updates on preparations for the sports venues and operations, volunteer and citizen participation, tourism and commercial district integration, and the opening and closing ceremonies, sharing this information with citizens through ongoing coverage.

Donghae City Mayor Sim Gyueon stated, "The Provincial Sports Competition and the Disabled Sports Festival are significant stages that showcase Donghae City's capabilities and the power of its citizens. We will leave no stone unturned in checking preparations across all sectors in the remaining period to ensure a safe and highly successful event."
