The area around Suwon Convention Center, where Suwon City is promoting the designation of an international conference complex district

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is promoting the designation of an 'International Conference Complex District' centered around the Suwon Convention Center.

The International Conference Complex District refers to an area where international conference facilities and 'international conference aggregation facilities' are concentrated. It covers an area within 4 million square meters and includes specialized conference facilities, lodging, shopping, performance halls, museums, art galleries, and transportation convenience facilities.

Suwon City has designated approximately 1.83 million square meters around Gwanggyo, centered on the Suwon Convention Center, as the 'Suwon International Conference Complex District' and submitted an application for approval of the 'Suwon International Conference Complex District Development and Promotion Plan,' which includes aggregation facilities for revitalizing the complex district and joint cooperation project plans, along with designation applications for seven aggregation facilities such as lodging, retail facilities, museums, and art galleries.

The government follows a procedure where local governments that meet the designation requirements establish and apply for the International Conference Complex District Development and Promotion Plan, which is then reviewed and approved, followed by designation by the city or provincial governor.

Earlier, in December last year, the city signed a 'Suwon International Conference Complex District Aggregation Facilities Business Agreement' with aggregation facilities around the Suwon Convention Center, and in October this year, launched the 'Suwon International Conference Complex District Aggregation Facilities Council,' consisting of 12 related organizations and aggregation facilities.

A city official stated, "If Suwon City is designated as an International Conference Complex District, its competitiveness in attracting international conferences will be strengthened, and the ripple effects on the local economy through hosting international events will become visible. Since we have systematically prepared well so far to be designated as an International Conference Complex District, we will do our best until the remaining processes such as on-site inspections and final evaluations are completed."
