金門蛻變韓電視台取經

Tension on the Korean peninsula has increased since Yeonpyeong Island (延坪島) was attacked by North Korea last November. This incident has resulted in Kinmen and its underground tunnels, which were built by the military to function as a military base, receiving attention from other parts of the world. Tbroad TV, a Korean cable TV station, decided to visit Kinmen to shoot some footage (1) as part of a "one year memorial project" featuring the Yeonpyeong Island incident, which will be aired this November. On June 20th, the program producer An Dong-Hyeok (安東 ) interviewed County Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi in his office.
去年十一月南韓仁川市延坪島受到北韓砲擊，造成朝鮮半島情勢緊張。此一事件讓國際注意到金門，以及當年國軍為防禦而建造的地下堡壘。針對「延坪島事件」，韓國Tbroad有線電視台，特別來金取景，將製作專題配合該事件一週年紀念，安排十一月份在韓國播出。製作人安東 （An Dong-Hyeok）20日特別前往縣府訪問縣長李沃士。

During the interview, An Dong-Hyeok focused on specific topics such as how Kinmen transformed from a battlefield to a tourist site; how the government ended the political tension and revived the local economy; and what strategies and development goals the central and local governments have for the development of the tourism industry.
訪談中，安東 （An Dong-Hyeok）想瞭解，金門如何從戰地變換為觀光勝地；走過緊張氣氛，政府如何重振金門經濟；以及中央、地方政府在推動觀光發展上有何政策或發展目標。

Magistrate Li said that the economic development in Kinmen was relatively slow when cross-strait tensions were high. In 1992, after the lifting of martial law and the ban on traveling, there was once a prosperous turning point for tourism development in Kinmen. In 2001, the launch of Mini-Three-Links greatly influenced the transformation of Kinmen-from a military frontline for Taiwan to a transport route for the Cross-strait. It has also triggered (2) economic growth in Kinmen. Besides, the key aspects for Kinmen County Government to promote local tourism are: the southern-Min Culture, the homeland of oversea Chinese, a historical battlefield, the natural ecology, and cultural richness.
李沃士表示，金門在兩岸軍事對峙時期，經濟發展相對落後；1992年解嚴開放觀光後，一度出現發展契機。2001年兩岸小三通起跑，不但扭轉了金門是邊陲的角色，成為進出兩岸必經要道，也帶動了金門經濟發展。金門縣政府更以閩南、僑鄉、戰地、生態等豐富及多元的文化內涵，行銷觀光活動。

As for future goals, Magistrate Li pointed out that while the plan is to build Kinmen as an international tourism island, the ultimate goal is to take sustainable development as basic principle and construct a city full of happiness and vitality(3), a place which provides its residents and visitors wellness, joy, and relaxation.
李縣長也指出，金門縣之觀光行銷活動可概分為四大類，包括主題性活動行銷、體育活動行銷、城市合作行銷、金門自主性旅遊推介等。至於未來目標，李沃士指出，金門的定位是一座國際級觀光休閒島嶼，希望在不過度的開發原則下，打造一個健康、幸福快樂的城市，一個能讓民眾輕鬆、幸福生活的健康島。
