This tournament is hosted by the Korea Soft Tennis Association, hosted by the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Soft Tennis Association, and jointly sponsored by Sunchang-gun and Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province.
This competition is a representative performance of the sports competition attraction project that Sunchang-gun is focusing on, and is evaluated as part of strategic sports marketing aimed at promoting local consumption through the influx of external visitors.
This event is held in Sunchang-gun for 14 consecutive years, and is considered a representative example of the close cooperative relationship between Sunchang-gun and the Korea Soft Tennis Association.
As this is a competition that has been going on for such a long time, it is also evidence of the high national trust in Sunchang-gun’s soft tennis infrastructure and operational capabilities.
Approximately 1,200 athletes and officials are expected to visit Sunchang-gun during the competition, and the cumulative number of visitors is expected to reach 10,000. As a result, it is expected that there will be a substantial increase in sales throughout the local commercial area, including lodging establishments and restaurants, and local small business owners are also responding positively.
