[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province (Mayor Heo Seong-mu) announced on the 10th that employees visited Gaeumjeong Market in the district for lunch, encouraging merchants who are struggling due to reduced consumption caused by the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan Pneumonia).

The city has been steadily visiting and promoting the use of traditional markets through various policies such as sisterhood traditional market use and 'Dining Out Day' traditional market use, creating an atmosphere to revitalize usage.

In particular, amid the recent spread of the novel coronavirus and consumers' anxiety causing fewer visits to the market, the city plans to further promote the use of traditional markets and focus on stabilizing the local economy.

First Deputy Mayor Heo Man-young said, “During difficult times such as consumption contraction, we hope that public officials will take the lead in using traditional markets to create an atmosphere of traditional market use, and also actively participate in recruiting and promoting the use of Changwon Love Gift Certificates.”
