The government is actively seeking
tourism support for participants in the "2023 Saemangeum World Scout
Jamboree," with the Chungcheong region taking proactive steps to support
it.
According to sources from four provinces
in the Chungcheong region on the 7th, Daejeon recently submitted three
proposals to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, including "Daejeon
Ecotourism Experience," "Science Capital Daejeon Experience,"
and "Urban Cultural Ecological Experience."
Previously, President Yoon Suk-yeol
instructed on the 5th, "Urgently add tourism programs where Korea's
industries, cultures, histories, and nature can be seen."
Looking at the programs prepared by the
city, ecotourism experiences focus on Gyejoksan Hwangto Trail, science capital
experiences include the National Science Museum, and cultural ecological
experiences include Hanbat Arboretum.
A city official stated, "There was a
request from the government to propose tourism programs for each local
government, so we prepared three proposals," adding, "Once confirmed,
we will proceed with implementation."
During the remaining Jamboree schedule,
around 60 representatives from Singapore staying at the Korea Water Resources
Corporation Training Institute are enjoying the corporation's "Water
Resources Cultural Tourism Program."
The representatives visited the Korea
Water Resources Corporation's Water Management Control Center, Daecheong Dam,
Gongju Donghaksa Temple, and Gyeryongsan National Park on this day's schedule.
For the Jamboree participants in Sejong
City, the Sejong Youth Center has prepared activities such as "Sports
Climbing, K-Food Making, 3D Printing Experience" and "Traditional
Culture Experience at Sejong Traditional Culture Experience Center
(Gwangjesa)," including archery, lantern making, and temple cuisine
experience.
At night, there are tours of the
Leeumdaegyo Bridge's night scenery and K-pop busking performances enjoyed by
Jamboree scouts and Sejong City youth.
Chungbuk Province has prepared off-site
programs for three courses: △Course 1 History, Culture, and Leisure Experience
(Cheongju, Jeungpyeong) △Course 2 Traditional Music and History Experience
(Yeongdong, Boeun) △Course 3 Nature-themed Travel (Jecheon, Danyang).
Especially, the province is in
discussions with cities and counties to provide benefits such as free admission
to tourist attractions and discounts.
Currently, the size and schedule of the
Jamboree visiting group have not been confirmed, but there are plans to provide
accommodations, transportation, and thorough preparations for safety, hygiene,
and accident prevention.
In addition, Chungnam Province will
provide scouts from around the world participating in the Saemangeum Jamboree
with the taste, style, and excitement of Chungnam.
The province has secured 10 facilities
from six cities and counties, including youth training centers and youth
hostels, so that scouts tired from the heat can comfortably stay in Chungnam.
The Gongju Youth Hostel can accommodate
800 people, the Gyeryongsan Gabssa Youth Hostel 500 people, and the Buyeo Youth
Training Center 300 people, with a capacity to accommodate 3,000 people per
day.
The province has also prepared special
programs for scouts to enjoy.
To allow international youths to
experience the Boryeong Mud Festival that concluded on the 6th, the festival's
"Mud Massage Self Zone" will be extended for four days from the 7th
to the 10th, free of charge.
A provincial official stated, "We
will deploy cultural tourism guides at each tourist site to help participants
understand Chungnam's history and culture without inconvenience and ensure
thorough safety management."
