This agreement was promoted as one of Gijang-gun's core strategies to increase the number of passengers using Gijang Station, since passenger demand at each station is an important criterion for determining KTX-Eum stops.

Through this agreement, the county and the Gijang-gun branch of the Foodservice Industry Association will work together to devise practical measures to increase the number of Gijang Station users, such as providing various benefits to ITX-Ma-eum and Mugunghwa-ho ticket holders using Gijang Station.

Governor Jeong Jongbok stated, "With this agreement, the two organizations will cooperate to achieve both the goal of attracting KTX-Eum stops at Gijang Station and revitalizing the local commercial district," adding, "We will continue to strengthen cooperation with related organizations and groups, and further accelerate efforts to promote the use of Gijang Station."

Recently, Gijang-gun signed a business agreement with Skyline Luge Busan to offer a '20% discount on Luge & Zipline' to ITX-Ma-eum and Mugunghwa-ho ticket holders until the end of this year. The county has also signed an agreement with the National Busan Science Museum to provide ticket holders with access to the museum's facilities for 1,000 KRW, and is working to expand various incentives for Gijang Station users.
