Gijang County and Busan Film Commission Launch "Regional Coexistence Location Incentive" Initiative

"Beyond Attracting Filming: A Cultural Industry Model That Coexists With the Local Economy"

Gijang County (Governor Jeong Jongbok) signed a consignment agreement with the Busan Film Commission (Executive Committee Chairman Kang Sungkyu) on November 10 for the "Regional Coexistence Location Incentive Support Project" and has begun full-scale implementation of the initiative.

This project aims to promote local spending within Gijang County and foster the development of the regional film and video industry during the production of video content such as movies and dramas.

Under this initiative, the county will provide incentives within a set limit for expenses such as accommodation, meals, and location fees incurred by production companies brought in by the Busan Film Commission and spent in the Gijang County area.

Going forward, Gijang County plans to cooperate with the Busan Film Commission to establish a support system for production companies, improve filming conditions, and strengthen on-site, customized support in order to enhance the competitiveness of the local video industry.

The county expects this project to generate a variety of benefits, including revitalizing the local economy, fostering the growth of the video industry, and promoting tourism resources. In particular, it is anticipated that the initiative will help increase sales for local small business owners who have been struggling due to the recent economic downturn.

Governor Jeong Jongbok stated, "This incentive project is not simply about attracting filming, but represents a new cultural industry model that coexists with the local economy. By linking it with the Busan Gijang Filming Studio, scheduled for completion in September next year, we will develop Gijang into a hub city for the video industry."
