A Study on the Development of Tea Culture Industry in Naju Area : The Development of Wild Tea Field at Geumseongsan(M.T) and Green Tourism

Naju was the political, economic and cultural center of Honam along with Jeonju from Goryo of Wanggeon to Chosun Dynasty. Natural resources of Naju, like Geumseongsan(M.T), blends well with its pivotal historic and cultural assets. However, the cultural tourism industry of Naju has been still lagging behind other regions despite its superb historic and cultural resources. If wild tea field at Geumseongsan(M.T), etc, which has not been known very well, is developed and relayed to the tea culture, more fruitful and abundant cultural development would be attained. Recently, the green tourism is coming into the spotlight as a new form of tourism. That is a development for environment-friendly tourism industry using the natural, historic, social and cultural resources of rural community in order to highlight the character of the region. This study purposes to enhance the applicability of tea industry along with the rich cultural assets of Naju, as part of effort at green tourism. In response to that, I considered a green tourism which applies tea culture industry to differentiate Naju from other regions. Specifically, this study tries to explore the measure to develop the tour resources based on the green tea culture using the wild tea from Geumseongsan, Deokryongsan, Baekryongsan, and systematize such efforts.
