화천군·수자원공사 협약…2028년까지 명상공원·농산물판매장 조성
(화천=연합뉴스) 이상학 기자 = 강원 화천의 대표적인 안보 관광지인 평화의댐이 체류형 관광과 휴식을 결합한 힐링 공간으로 새롭게 조성된다.
화천군과 한국수자원공사 평화의댐지사는 최근 군청에서 '평화의댐 체류형 힐링공간 조성사업' 시행을 위한 협약을 했다고 26일 밝혔다.
이번 사업은 평화의댐을 기존 안보·평화 관광 중심의 방문형 관광지에서 관광객이 머물며 휴식할 수 있는 체류형 공간으로 확장하기 위해 추진한다.
양 기관은 협약에 따라 2028년까지 평화의댐 일대에 새로운 랜드마크를 비롯해 명상공원과 쉼터 등을 조성할 계획이다.
또 지역 농산물 판매장을 마련해 관광객 소비가 지역 농가와 주민 소득으로 이어질 수 있도록 할 방침이다.
화천군은 평화의댐이 새롭게 단장하면 기존 안보 관광자원과 주변 자연환경을 연계한 관광 콘텐츠가 확대돼 관광객 체류시간을 늘리는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대했다.
