[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County Governor Park Yong-chul visited traditional markets and shopping districts on the 19th ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays, offering encouragement to merchants and having time to communicate with them.

Governor Park toured various traditional markets including Ganghwa Bus Terminal Shopping Center and Pungmul Market, as well as shopping districts such as Jungang-ro, directly listening to the difficulties faced by merchants struggling with economic downturn and examining current issues. He also urged visitors to use traditional markets and small shopping districts when purchasing Lunar New Year holiday goods.

The county is making multifaceted efforts to revitalize the local economy by carrying out facility modernization projects for traditional markets to expand outdated facilities and convenience amenities, and conducting a service project on the direction of commercial district revitalization in Ganghwa-eup to support small business owners and activate small shopping districts.

Governor Park Yong-chul said, "Please contribute to the revitalization of local commercial districts by using affordable traditional markets and small shopping districts for Lunar New Year shopping," and added, "Ganghwa County will also make efforts toward vibrant traditional markets and a thriving local economy."
