Busan Changgyeong, Lavals Hotel and '24-hour Global Workation Center' Operation

Busan Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Yongwoo Kim, hereinafter referred to as Busan Creative Economy) announced on the 7th that it signed a business agreement with Laval Hotel and Busan-style workation activation project global satellite center.

The Workation Satellite Center is a collaborative space where participants can work freely, and provides various work support facilities and convenient services. In particular, it is designed to enable remote workers and companies to work in a new environment while maintaining productivity.

The Busan-type workation activation project is a program that supports employees of companies outside of Busan to combine work and leisure in Busan. Through this, Busan Changgyeong is preparing various infrastructures and support measures to increase the productivity of domestic and international remote workers and to enable companies to introduce a flexible work culture.

As part of this project, Busan Changgyeong announced that as a result of recruiting a global satellite center for 'Busan-style workation activation', 'La Valse Hotel Orchestra Lounge' located in Yeongdo-gu, Busan was finally selected and will begin operation in March.

Unlike the previous global satellite center, which was only available from 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays, this one is open 24 hours a day, allowing workation participants to utilize the workspace without being restricted by time. As a result, the participants’ work efficiency is expected to increase further.

In particular, for global participants, it seems that a more flexible work environment can be created as they will be able to freely use the work space without time differences.

This 24-hour global satellite center operation is the result of feedback from participants in the global workation pilot project in September 2024, and more systematic preparations have been made for global participants in 2025. Through this, various customized support has been strengthened so that overseas participants can work more smoothly in Busan.

Busan Changgyeong CEO Yongwoo Kim said, “We expect that through the establishment of this global satellite center, Busan will be able to provide a more attractive work environment for domestic and international workation participants,” and added, “We will continue to expand our infrastructure in cooperation with various domestic and international companies and organizations.”

This pilot operation will run until June 30, and a comprehensive review of the operational performance and feedback from participants will be conducted to establish a plan for extending the project period and continuing operation.

Busan Changgyeong plans to increase the utilization of workation through the operation of this 24-hour satellite center and support global talents to more smoothly combine work and leisure in Busan.
