Hadong is famous for its green tea, and holds a yearly green tea festival during May and June. Hadong's popularity as a tourist destination continues to rise each year,[citation needed] and the local government plays a role in attracting visitors. This included sponsoring a tourism advertisement that aired on CNN in 2007.[2]

While much of Korea has experienced an explosion of industrial development, Hadong remains a destination for those who wish to escape the bustle of city living.[original research?] However, a lack of activity in the industrial sector has left the government with little incentive to expanding the sometimes inadequate existing road infrastructure.[original research?] A petition for the allocation of funds for new road construction was signed by a number of Hadong residents.[3]

South Korean president Lee Myeong bak has recently[when?] announced plans for the construction of a Gyeongsangnam-do leisure resort palace in Hadong.[4]
