However, as time passed by, tourism in this area slowly died out. This was due to, firstly, the lack of pure natural spring water, and secondly, the newly developed spa resorts developed in cities such as On-Yang, which stole customers from Yuseong. Now, few comes to Yuseong for tourism purposes.



Plans have been made to renovate and develop the areas to attract tourist once more. The major project that is currently proposed and evaluated is the Yuseong Leisure Town. Water theme parks, spa resorts, public golf course, and varies other attractions will be constructed.<ref>{{cite news

Recent Developments

Yuseong first started its spa business in 1913, and by the 1970s, major developments were made, adding 12 more hotels to the area, leading this area to be designated first as the Special Spa District in 1981 and finally as the Yuseong Special Tourism District by August 31st, 1994.[1]

To prevent centralization in Seoul, then-President Park Chung Hee concentrated the country's high tech industries in the Yuseong area in the 1970s[citation needed] and the Expo '93 was held here.


Plans have been made to renovate and develop the areas to attract more tourists. The major project that is currently proposed and evaluated is the Yuseong Leisure Town. Water theme parks, spa resorts, public golf course, and varies other attractions will be constructed.[2]
