Gapyeong-gun plans to implement an all-around promotional strategy to increase the awareness of the representative festivals. Promotional videos will be broadcast at key locations such as Jarasum Skyline Zip Wire, Gapyeong Rest Area, Tourism Information Center, and the county office. Additionally, announcements will be made on the county office and Facilities Management Corporation websites and blogs, along with search advertisements and the production and distribution of promotional pamphlets.

Furthermore, through the revision of the 'Gapyeong-gun Jarasum Camping Site Management and Operation Ordinance,' a 30% discount on Jarasum rental fees will be applied exclusively to the representative festivals. This aims to encourage the attraction of new events and provide administrative support to help various private festivals take root.

Accessibility to Jarasum will also be improved. As part of the Jarasum Waterfront Ecotourism Belt project, the ‘Jarasum Suspension Bridge’ has been constructed to enhance the convenience of pedestrian tourists, and it will be utilized as another tourist attraction to expand sightseeing opportunities.

A Gapyeong-gun official stated, “Through the operation of Jarasum’s representative festivals, we expect to enhance the value of Gapyeong’s tourism brand and invigorate the local economy,” adding, “We will spare no effort in comprehensive promotion and support to ensure the successful hosting of the festivals.”
