A city official said, "We believe this festival will be an opportunity to share the achievements of the ecological green tourism development project conducted so far on Nangdo. We hope it will be a romantic festival that brings vitality to island residents and joy to tourists," adding, "We will do our best in quarantine and safety measures."
