Place : Tae an
I recommend Tae-an have a best possibility
of geotourism in Korea. Tae-an is located in Chungcheongnam-do province and
have a beautiful ocean scenery with blue sky and sea.
You guys might remember
the big oil spill incident in Tae-an. In December 7th 2007, 12,547kL
of massive oil had spilled all over the Tae-an ocean. Because of this oil
spill, almost 50% of sea creature died around Tae-an. Others who saved their
lives were not normal at all. They were covered with oil just like this
picture.
This event made peoples mental and body
poor. 75% of people who live in Tae are living by fishing but oil spill made
them lose their living jobs. Many volunteer worker help removing oil lumps in
Tae-an’s coast line. Here is the link of Tae-an oil spill so check it out if
you are interested.
Almost decade have passed after that event,
Tae-an had recovered slowly but steadily. Finally, in December 2015, fishing
ground had recovered and other fishing industries are going back to their
normal places.
So there’s one possible effects of
geotourism in Tae-an by making museum of Tae-an oil spill event. Showing
before, after, current state and future goal of Tae-an will make people think
differently. Watching the pictures of volunteer worker cleaning massive of dark
black oil will alert our life. It will also make a caution and prevent other
future incident too.
Another possible effect of Tae-an’s
gertourism is hosting a festival. Actually ‘Jumbo shrimp festival’ will held in
September 27th to October 26th. You can have an experience of catching shrimp with your
family or friends. After doing some fun activities, eating jumbo shrimp will be
the best moment in your trip.
Eating delicious shrimp in right season by
watching beautiful scenery of Tae-an’s beach will be the great experience. It
will also break the prejudice of Tae-an coast line too.
