Hundreds of eagles from Mongolia are visited every year.
As it emerged as a local tourism product, eagles were protected
[앵커]
Every winter, hundreds of eagles fly from Mongolia to settle in Goseong, South Gyeongsang Province.
Thanks to the spectacular performance of the flock of eagles, an experiential tour product was also released.
Goseong-gun signed an international agreement with Mongolia to protect eagles, a natural monument.

The blue winter sky was filled with eagles with their big wings wide open.
When the food is spread on the ground, it approaches carefully, and soon, it gathers and eats.
This is a natural monumental eagle who visited Goseong in Gyeongnam Province in Mongolia for winter.
Since 1999, civic groups have been constantly feeding and caring for them, and hundreds of them come every year.

As the flock of vultures created a spectacular view, it became a local pride and attracted tourists.
Taking advantage of the characteristic of being from Mongolia, a Mongolian-style tent house’ger’ was installed and tourism products such as feeding were made.
As it had a positive impact on local tourism, it even signed international agreements to protect eagles.

On top of that, we decided to move the eagles to their habitat and feeding grounds so that they could winter in a better environment.

An eagle, a natural monument located in Goseong, Gyeongnam, with over 20 years of hard work.
We are looking forward to seeing whether the eagle conservation agreement and the creation of an eco-tourism destination will help protect eagles and help local tourism.
