Gimcheon in North Gyeongsang Province has created a task force to pursue the establishment of a tourism and culture foundation, aiming to strengthen management and expertise in the city's tourism and cultural resources.
According to the city Monday, the new TF will operate under the planning and budget office and carry out foundation-establishment work through close coordination across departments.
The TF's responsibilities include drawing up a master plan and setting the direction for the foundation, reviewing its feasibility, handling related administrative procedures, drafting governing regulations, organizing its structure and staffing, and preparing a budget.
Through the TF, Gimcheon plans to systematically build the administrative and institutional groundwork needed for the foundation, strengthen ties between tourism and culture, and pursue policies that reflect the city's distinct local character.
"Starting with the creation of a dedicated TF, we will systematically push forward with establishing the tourism and culture foundation to enhance the value of our local tourism and cultural resources and lay the groundwork for revitalizing tourism and culture in ways that residents can feel," Gimcheon Mayor Bae Nak-ho said.
