Gwangju City Selected for Tourism-Dure Regional Cooperation Project
Total Project Cost of 1.2 Billion Won Invested by 2023
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 24th that it has been selected for the first time as a metropolitan city unit in the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's '2021 Tourism Dure Regional Cooperation Project'.
The Tourism Dure Regional Cooperation Project was introduced to discover and expand Tourism Dure resident businesses closely connected to the field, induce sustainable growth, and create local jobs and a sustainable regional tourism development ecosystem through the activation of tourism businesses led by the region and residents.
Until now, only provincial units centered on rural areas have been selected, but this year, Gwangju City and Incheon City were selected for the first time.
Starting this year, Gwangju City will operate a Tourism Dure regional workforce training program with a total project cost of 1.2 billion KRW, including 600 million KRW in national funds, for three years, and will promote the discovery and fostering of new Tourism Dure resident businesses, operation of the Tourism Dure network, and promotion and marketing projects.
The Tourism Dure Regional Cooperation Project is based on a three-year support system for project stability and sustainability, but national funding support is determined annually through project evaluation to ensure sound project operation.
Accordingly, Gwangju City plans to strengthen the capabilities of autonomous districts through the Tourism Dure Regional Cooperation Center for local workforce training and provide comprehensive support so that many local tourism talents can be selected in the Tourism Dure PD public contest project hosted by the Korea Tourism Organization every November.
