In particular, Governor Kim promised, "From this year through next year, starting with the 'Visit Chungnam Year,' we will create a synergy between culture, the arts, and the tourism industry," and added, "We will continue to communicate with the Chungnam Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations so that Chungnam's cultural and arts policies can take another step forward."
Meanwhile, Chungnam Province is planning to operate cultural and artistic programs at major tourist destinations in celebration of the '2025-2026 Visit Chungnam Year.' The province is currently planning exhibitions, performances, festivals, and hands-on events, and is preparing to launch the Chungnam Provincial Arts Group, which will promote the region's cultural value and provide residents with opportunities to enjoy culture.
