In the 10 years between 2014 and October of this year, a total of 146,240 people (an average of 80,000 visitors per day) have visited the rooftop garden.
The ministry plans to explore additional projects to link rooftop garden viewing with Sejong City's tourism infrastructure to boost the local economy and provide convenience and attractions for users.
A ministry official said, "We will take into consideration the opinions of rooftop garden visitors in the first half of this year and provide a service that meets the public's needs and expectations."
