내용

Mayor Park Heong-joon will personally visit Taejongdae and Songdo Beach today (July 31) to conduct an on-site inspection of tourism operations and to prevent safety accidents during the summer tourism season.

This inspection follows the “Tourism Readiness Inspection and Joint Resolution Event” held by the city on July 17.

On this day, the city will ▲ inspect tourism services at Taejongdae Resort Park and ▲ hold the "Zero (ZERO) Water Safety Accidents Declaration" event at Songdo Beach. Mayor Park plans to tour each site and carefully examine various inconveniences from the tourists’ perspective.

The first agenda begins at 14:00 with a visit to Taejongdae Resort Park, where the mayor will inspect the operation of the Danubi Train and encourage staff members.

In particular, the mayor will board the environmentally friendly electric Danubi Train, which reduces carbon emissions, to directly assess its operation. The train, officially in operation since June, runs along a 4-kilometer circular road and stops at major attractions in Taejongdae such as the observatory, lighthouse, and temple.

The electric Danubi Train is not only equipped with eco-friendly technology but also features barrier-free design, allowing wheelchair users, seniors, and families with young children to experience the scenic views of Taejongdae without inconvenience.

Next, the mayor will visit Songdo Beach to inspect pricing practices and overall readiness of the beach during summer, and will reaffirm commitment to safety through the “Zero (ZERO) Water Safety Accidents Declaration” alongside fire services, police, Seo-gu District officials, and civilian safety personnel.

In addition, he will express his deep appreciation for the on-site workers who play a crucial role in water safety management and visitor guidance.

Mayor Park will then visit the Songdo Marine Cable Car to inspect the safety of the facility and check for any inconveniences on site.

Mayor Park will state, “To continually raise satisfaction with tourism in Busan, it is essential to ensure safety alongside excellent service from workers in accommodation, dining, transportation, and other frontline sectors. I ask that you carry out your duties with pride, knowing that you are the final safeguard of the safety and lives of both citizens and visitors.”

He will add, “The health and safety of our on-site workers are just as important as those of our visitors, so please take good care of yourselves. Through this inspection, Busan Metropolitan City will work to develop practical measures to enhance the quality of tourism services and increase visitor satisfaction.”
