Yeoju City Benchmarks Yesан Market to Revitalize Downtown Commerce

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong] On the 17th, Yeoju City organized a benchmarking visit to Chungcheongnam-do's Yesan Market as the fourth session of the 'Food Service Common Education for Downtown Commercial Revitalization' program.

Approximately 40 trainees who participated in the visit arrived at Yesan Market and toured the market thoroughly under the guidance of staff from The Born Korea Food Service Industry Development Institute. They received explanations about the market formation process, store operation methods, and characteristics of each store, and learned know-how from success cases.

Subsequently, participants moved to an annex of The Born Korea Food Service Industry Development Institute at Yesan Market, where they held a briefing on Yesan Market and conducted a Q&A; session to identify implications and explore ways to apply them to Yeoju City.

Following this, a completion ceremony was held for 39 trainees who attended all four sessions of the food service common education, where The Born Korea presented certificates of completion and commemorative gifts to the participants, making it a meaningful experience.

Mayor Lee Chung-woo said, "I express my gratitude to the trainees who participated in this education for revitalizing Yeoju City's downtown commerce. I hope that by seeing and learning more at Yesan Market, Yeoju City's commercial areas will become vibrant and gain good reputation, attracting many tourists to Yeoju."
