[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, has been finally selected for a project sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, and will carry out a regional specialized sports tourism industry development project starting from the 18th.

Accordingly, the city plans to allow citizens and tourists to enjoy 'canoeing' and 'SUP' at the Marine Park, and 'kayaking' and 'pedal boating' at the Pohang Canal under the theme of 'Pohang Sea & Pohang Canal Romantic Waterway.'

The SUP experience at the Marine Park can be enjoyed together with pets, and the kayaking and pedal boating at the Pohang Canal can be enjoyed at night.

Reservations can be made through the 'Pohang Marine Sports Website,' and on-site experience applications are available for remaining seats.

Through this project, Pohang City aims to provide a friendly way to enjoy marine sports in unique locations close to the city center, offering citizens and tourists visiting the Pohang sea a new kind of enjoyment.

Choi Muhyung, Director of the Marine Industry Division, said, "Entering its second year, this project aims to establish Pohang as a marine leisure sports tourism destination and is expected to revitalize local tourism. We hope that many people visiting the Pohang sea will fully enjoy the vast and blue sea with their body and mind."
