Jangan-gu Traditional Market Onnuri Gift Certificate Purchase Campaign

Jangan-gu (District Chief Hong Seong-gwan) has launched a "Traditional Market Onnuri Gift Certificate" purchase campaign with government officials taking the lead to revitalize the sluggish traditional markets and stimulate the local economy ahead of Chuseok, the nation's traditional holiday.

The gift certificate purchase campaign was undertaken to address the difficulties faced by small merchants as traditional markets have become depressed due to the growth of large-scale retailers such as hypermarkets and SSMs. Senior government officials participated first, followed by employees who participated on a voluntary basis. A total of 13.17 million won in gift certificates were purchased on the 12th over a two-day period beginning on the 9th.

Additionally, Jangan-gu plans to hold a "Traditional Market Campaign for Chuseok" at Jo-won Market on the 16th to revitalize traditional markets. The district is also implementing regular monthly "Traditional Market Days," establishing sister relationships between each department and traditional markets, attracting regular customers, and conducting environmental improvements to vitalize the local economy.

Meanwhile, when purchasing Onnuri gift certificates with individual cash payments, customers can purchase them at a 3% discount for up to 300,000 won per person per month. For more details, please visit the Traditional Market Onnuri Gift Certificate website (http://www.onnuri-sijang.com/).
