In particular, as a special policy, Goryeong County actively promoted the establishment of a comprehensive investment attraction plan, the formulation of a basic plan for designation as an Opportunity Development Zone, the attraction of large logistics centers, and tourism industry (hotel) attraction activities. To help small and medium-sized enterprises explore overseas markets, the county also promoted the 2024 Overseas Trade Delegation Dispatch Project, achieving a total consultation amount of 30.7 billion KRW and signing MOUs worth 8.7 billion KRW, earning recognition for these contributions.
