Yeosu Musulmok Tourist Complex: A Major Investment in Sustainable Coastal Tourism
The Yeosu Musulmok Tourist Complex has received official approval from the Jeonnam-Gwangju Provincial Government, paving the way for the development of a large-scale, year-round stay-type integrated tourism complex on Korea’s South Coast. The project involves a total private investment of KRW 898.5 billion and will be implemented by Yeosu Leisure Development Co., Ltd.
Covering an area of approximately 1.19 million square meters, the complex will feature a diverse range of accommodation, leisure, and cultural facilities, including hotels and resorts, an 18-hole golf course, and themed garden spaces. Designed as a long-stay destination, the project aims to enhance Yeosu’s attractiveness as a premium marine tourism hub.
A key focus of the development is its mutually beneficial, community-oriented approach. The project actively promotes local participation through resident-operated seafood and specialty product shops and restaurants, preferential hiring of local residents, resident discounts, and the use of regional products. In addition, an International Island Lounge will be established to position Yeosu as a global hub for island tourism, alongside a Tourism Workforce Training Center to support the training of local tourism professionals.
The Musulmok Tourist Complex will be closely connected with nearby attractions such as Odongdo Island, Hyangiram Hermitage, and the Yeosu Marine Cable Car, further strengthening Yeosu’s role as a leading marine leisure and tourism city. Through this project, Yeosu aims to become a core hub of the South Coast Tourism Belt and a sustainable destination for year-round visitors.
