[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County Chief Park Yong-chul visited traditional markets and commercial streets on the 19th ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday to encourage merchants and have time for dialogue.

Chief Park personally toured various locations including traditional markets such as Ganghwa Bus Terminal Shopping Center and Pungmul Market, as well as commercial areas including Jung-ang Road shopping district, directly listening to merchants' hardships caused by economic slowdown and examining pending issues. He also urged visitors to use traditional markets and alleyway merchants when shopping for Lunar New Year essentials.

The county is making multifaceted efforts to revitalize the local economy, including upgrading obsolete facilities and expanding convenience facilities through traditional market facility modernization projects, and implementing consulting services for Ganghwa-eup commercial district revitalization to support small business owners and activate alleyway commerce.

Ganghwa County Chief Park Yong-chul said, "I ask for your contribution to revitalizing local commerce by shopping for Lunar New Year at affordable traditional markets and alleyway merchants," and "Ganghwa County will also make efforts for vibrant traditional markets and a thriving local economy."
