However, Jeonnam Province is preparing various support measures to overcome this, and I hope Jeonnam will quickly recover and become even more vitalized as a leading tourism hub representing Korea.” He also added, “The Jeonnam Provincial Council will continue to pay close attention and actively support these efforts.”
