Meanwhile, Chuncheon City has submitted an application to designate the Seomyeon Chuncheon Drone Testbed and Songam Sports Town area as a government project drone special free zone. If designated as a special free zone, procedures such as certification, permission, approval, and evaluation required for drone flights will be simplified, deferred, or exempted. Through this, Chuncheon City plans to expand the base of leisure drones linked to the tourism industry and create a safe flying environment.
