The purpose of this study is to institute ecotourism programs through the discovery of excellent ecological, cultural, and landscape resources around Andong lakefront. The applicability of an ecotourism certification system was confirmed based on data construction and valuation. Through analysis of geographical, ecological, and political factors, four types of resources (including natural ecology resources, natural landscape resources, historical culture resources, and living culture resources) and 46 resources ecological and cultural resources were constructed into the mapped database. In particular, this study identified four areas of inland wetlands lakeside as main sites around Andong lakefront. Results of valuation were high for natural ecology resources and historical culture resources, and comparatively low for others, such as living culture resources.
