Asan City in South Korea has launched the 'Year of Visit' initiative to attract 10 million tourists by 2026, aiming to re-establish itself as a premier hot spring travel destination. The city plans to enhance wellness tourism centered around its historic Onyang and Dogo hot springs (온천), and develop heritage tourism linked to sites related to Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a revered Korean naval hero. Key plans include transforming Sinjeong Lake Park into a family-friendly water-themed garden, and leveraging local attractions like Gokgyocheon, Ginkgo Tree Road, and Oeam Folk Village. The initiative is part of Asan's strategy to become a leading tourist city and stimulate local economic growth through tourism.
