Permission fees for shooting foreign films in national parks in case of short-term filming with animals involved

     The term “national park” refers to any area that has been preserved to maintain its original natural conditions in order to benefit education and public happiness, and it is an area declared by a Royal Decree as a national park under the National Parks Act. Preservation of the natural environment in national parks is the main duty of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation. Since performing all these duties requires a budget, fees are collected from those utilizing the national park area, which are used for national park management.
