(무안=브레이크뉴스) 이학수 기자= 전라남도는 올해 코로나19 극복을 위해 관광진흥기금의 융자지원 및 상환유예 대상을 추가로 확대했다고 밝혔다.

융자지원 확대 업종은 일반여행업, 국외여행업, 일반관광유람선업, 크루즈업, 4개 업종이다. 지원 한도는 여행업은 2억 원, 관광유람선업은 3억 원이다.

전남도는 지난해까지 시설자금만 지원했으나, 코로나19로 운영자금의 수요가 늘어남에 따라 융자지원 대상 추가 확대에 나선 것이다.

올 상반기 융자지원 대상은 11개 업체 39억 원 규모다. 선정 업체는 5월부터 거래 금융당국에 융자 신청할 수 있으며, 6개월 이내에 융자지원을 받으면 된다.

또한 관광업계가 상반기 내 어려움을 극복하도록 올 하반기 융자지원 공고 계획도 앞당겨 5월 중 시행, 융자지원을 조기에 실행할 방침이다.

상환유예 대상도 확대했다. 지난해 융자금 상환을 1년 유예했으나, 코로나19 상황이 장기화됨에 따라 이미 상환유예 지원을 받은 융자업체에 대해 상환 기간을 1년 더 연장키로 했다. 상환유예를 바라는 업체는 오는 31일까지 거래은행에 신청하면 된다.

유미자 전남도 관광과장은 “이번 조치로 코로나19로 어려운 관광업계의 재정부담이 완화되길 바란다”며 “앞으로 도내 관광업계와 소통을 통해 지원과 협력을 강화하겠다”고 말했다.

Jeonnam-do, Corona 19... Expansion of tourism promotion fund support

Degree. Increased loans, added delay in repayment, implemented early support for the second half of the year

(Muan = Break News) Reporter Hak-soo Lee = Jeollanam-do announced that it has further expanded the targets for loan support and repayment deferred by the Tourism Promotion Fund to overcome Corona 19 this year.

The expansion of financing support is the general travel industry, the overseas travel industry, the general tourism cruise ship industry, and the cruise industry. The limit of support is 200 million won for the travel industry and 300 million won for the tourism cruise ship.

Jeollanam-do only supported facility funds until last year, but as the demand for operating funds increased due to Corona 19, it started to further expand the target of financing support.

The loan support target for the first half of this year is worth 3.9 billion won to 11 companies. Selected companies can apply for loans to the transaction financial authorities from May, and they only need to receive loan support within six months.

In addition, in order for the tourism industry to overcome difficulties in the first half of the year, the plan to announce loan support for the second half of this year will be advanced and implemented in May, and loan support will be implemented at an early stage.

The targets for repayment deferral were also expanded. Last year, the loan repayment was delayed for one year, but as the Corona 19 situation prolonged, the repayment period was decided to extend the repayment period for one more year for lenders that had already received repayment deferral support. Companies wishing to defer repayment can apply to their banks by the 31st.

Jeonnam-do Tourism Manager Yu Mi-ja said, “I hope this measure will ease the financial burden of the tourism industry, which is difficult due to Corona 19,” and said, “We will strengthen support and cooperation through communication with the tourism industry in the province.”
