[전국]Jeongdongjin and Homigot sunrise points controlled … merchants only sigh

[앵커]

During the end of the year and New Year holidays, sunrise places like Gangneung Jeongdongjin, Pohang Homigot and Ulsan Ganjeolgot are controlled.

The government decided to block the entrance because it was difficult to prevent the spread of Corona 19 among people crowded at tourist attractions.

This is reporter Lee Yoon-jae.

A place where win-win hands support the rising sun.

Pohang Homigot is well known as a New Years Eve venue.

On January 1 of each year, the shores around Homigot fill with people waiting for the first year of the new year.

But at the end of this year and on the first day of the year, things are different.

This is because the government decided to close the tourist attractions to avoid Corona 19.

The merchant who was preparing to do business for the end of the year and the New Year’s business collapses early.

[안정민 / 포항 호미곶 주변 상인 : 행사는 당연히 취소된다고 생각은 하고 있었어요. 그런데 손님들이 해는 보러 온다고 생각했는데 그것까지 안 한다고 하니까 저희는 너무 타격이 심합니다.]

The merchant who sent 5 of the 7 employees due to the 19 crown crisis that has continued for almost a year has a deep sigh.

[하진형 / 포항 호미곶 주변 상인 : 물론 나라 전체를 봤을 때는 걱정되고 그렇기도 하지만 대목도 못 보게 차단을 해버리면 병으로 그렇게 될지 굶어서 그렇게 될지 상당히 고민이 많습니다.]

The situation is the same in Jeongdongjin, Gangneung.

The expectation that not only restaurants and cafes, but also accommodation establishments welcome tourists has become a scandal.

The regret is even greater as the whole town looked forward to the New Year holidays.

[양진석 / 정동진 주변 카페 운영 : 아쉽긴 많이 아쉽죠. 1년에, 연중에 그 며칠 이렇게 버는 게 우리 마을 주민인데…. 뭐 어떻게 방법이 없습니다. 정부에서 하는 대로 따라가는 게 맞는다고 생각합니다.]

In addition to canceling the sunrise event at Ganjeolgot in Ulsan, individual tourists will also be blocked.

Since the government’s encouraging measures, which are inevitable to sacrifice the local economy, are inevitable, the cooperation of tourists who have been aware of the attractions for New Year’s Eve is also important.
