The investment agreement was made with the attendance of key officials including Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye County, Joo Taesu, Chairman of Nava Production Group Co., Ltd., and CEO Won Ilryeong.

Nava Production Group Co., Ltd. plans to invest approximately 33.7 billion KRW in a 128,000㎡ site in Yongbang-myeon, Gurye County, to develop Santa’s Adventure Theme Park, which will link sports and tourism facilities such as a year-round ski resort, lodging facilities, Santa Village, and a pet park.

The goal is to complete the entire project by 2026.

Starting from the first half of next year, the project will be actively promoted with related permits and approvals, and it is expected to create 106 new jobs upon completion.

Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye County, said, “We hope that this investment agreement will help Gurye County emerge as a hub for leisure tourism, and we will provide wholehearted support to ensure the project is invested as planned.”

Snow Flex is installed and operated in 37 locations across 8 countries worldwide, and it is planned to be installed for the first time in Korea in Gurye County, allowing people to enjoy year-round skiing using existing ski equipment.
