1. ‘Short of expectations’
Lackluster results for tourism developments, investment promotion zones
Officials say local tourism development projects and investment promotion zones have fallen short of expectations.
The provincial government analyzed the results of 62 projects related to tourism development and investment promotion zones. Real investments in the developments amounted to 10.4 trillion won, only 53 percent of what had been planned. The projects led to the creation of 10,600 jobs, but that’s just 29 percent of the target.
Finally, the participation rate of local companies was only 42 percent.
Provincial officials say most of the projects are still under construction, and that’s why the figures are off by so much. They say they will keep an eye on the situation during the project periods to ensure that investments are made as planned.

지역업체 참여실적 역시 42% 수준에 머물고 있습니다.
