Experience Gyeonggi Bay at the '2024 Gyeonggi International Boat Show'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gap-dong] Gyeonggi Province will operate three promotional pavilions—the Gyeonggi Bay Pavilion, Gyeonggi Marine Safety Experience Hall, and Jebu Marina—at the '2024 Gyeonggi International Boat Show,' Korea's largest marine leisure industry exhibition being held at KINTEX from the 8th. Last year, the Gyeonggi Province promotional pavilion attracted approximately 68,000 visitors.

The Gyeonggi International Boat Show is Korea's largest-scale marine leisure industry exhibition where visitors can experience a diverse range of domestic and international products including leisure vessels such as yachts and boats, as well as equipment and materials.

The Province plans to operate the Marine Safety Experience Hall pavilion to provide marine safety education and hands-on experience opportunities, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and vessel evacuation training, so that tourists visiting Gyeonggi Bay can safely enjoy the sea.

The Gyeonggi Bay Pavilion, under the concept of 'Adding More Sea to Gyeonggi Bay,' will introduce a wave experience zone utilizing projection mapping technology (a technique that projects video images using light onto the surface of objects) so that visitors can experience the living and breathing Gyeonggi Bay indoors. The interior media art zone's inner wall will display the ocean space with crashing waves through video.

The Jebu Marina Pavilion provides usage information and facility guidance for the Jebu Marina through consultations with leisure vessel users interested in using the marina.

Kim Bong-hyun, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Division at the Province, said, "Gyeonggi Province will continue to provide various content so that tourists visiting Gyeonggi Bay can enjoy marine leisure activities in a safer and more enjoyable manner."
