Seogwipo Tourism Port is Developing into a City of Marine Leisure and Tourism.
Seogwipo Tourism Port, one of the core projects of Jeju Free International City, is developing into a city of marine leisure and tourism.
Jeju Free International City Development Center(JDC) said that it reconsidered the development plan of Seogwipo Tourism Port and decided to expand the development site, developing it into three districts of resort leisure district, marine tourism district and port leisure district.
In the first phase, JDC will establish a future-oriented architecture tentatively named Saeyeon Sky Harbour in the resort leisure district by 2013. It will be a symbolic architecture with Saeyeon Bridge. The district will also be home to women divers' house, submarine, ticket booth of cruise ships, diver shops, marina house, commercial facilities and exhibition halls. In addition, JDC will tear down squatted architecture to build marina's mooring facilities, event square, parking lots and water front deck.
In the second phase from 2014 to 2016, JDC will build an ocean theme park, ocean restaurant, and ocean complex plaza which houses passenger ship terminals, roller coaster, seafood buffets and restaurants in the marine tourism district(1 to 8 quay wharf). Docks for cruise boat, motor boat and super yacht, outdoor spas, fountain square, cafes and a handicraft souvenir street will be created.
JDC will also build a multi-functional facility that combines commercial facilities such as office, restaurants, spa medical hospitals, discount stores and affordable business hotels. Condominium with 155 rooms will be built as well.
In the third phase from 2017 to 2020, JDC plans to install waterfront rest facilities and outdoor lighting, unify outer walls of residential buildings nearby, redesign store signs, and remodel outdated stores of National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives in the marine tourism district.
Sea-port warehouse, port transportation labor union office and open-air storage yard will be relocated to 4 to 8 quays, and the naval base will be transferred to newly-constructed Gangjung naval base.
Development site of Seogwipo Tourism Port totals 231,526 m2 (Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM) 77.7%, private land 19.4%, Ministry of Strategy and Finance 1.3%, Jeju 0.9% and Seogwipo city 0.7%), an increase of 33,526 m2 from the existing plan.
It is estimated that the project cost KRW166.459 billion in total (KRW 43.74 billion of public fund, KRW 42.32 billion of local fund and KRW 157.853 billion of private investment)
JDC expects that the plan can proceed smoothly after MLTM's basic plan on port redevelopment is confirmed this November.
