The pilot project for creating a stay-type fishing village experience base aims to build marine tourism infrastructure by refurbishing idle facilities in fishing villages so that family groups of visitors can stay for extended periods.

Accordingly, Sacheon City will invest 1 billion KRW (450 million KRW from the provincial government, 450 million KRW from the city government, and 100 million KRW from the fishing village cooperative) to remodel the idle pension operated by Jeodo Fishing Village Cooperative to match the latest trends. Additionally, fishing experience facilities will be improved.

A representative of the fishing village cooperative said, “As the first project site selected for the pilot project to create a stay-type fishing village experience base, we will carry out this project thoroughly,” adding, “The local capacity will be strengthened, and the village will be reborn as a community with a strong sense of togetherness.”

A city official stated, “Visitor satisfaction had declined due to the aging of the stay facilities, and the fishing platforms were also old, raising concerns about safety accidents among experience visitors,” and added, “We will do our best to promote the project.”
