Gwangju Buk-gu, Public Officials Conduct 'Good Prepayment Challenge' Campaign
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 29th that it is conducting the public official ‘Good Prepayment Challenge’ campaign for the first time among autonomous districts in Gwangju to increase sales of local small business owners.
The Good Prepayment Campaign is a consumer movement aimed at alleviating the difficulties of small business owners who are in crisis due to COVID-19 by prepaying at frequently used restaurants and promising to revisit.
This public official prepayment challenge started from the idea of a public official in Buk-gu as part of the ‘Good Consumption Project, Together Buk-gu’ promoted by Buk-gu, and is conducted by prepaying at small business and self-employed establishments such as restaurants, cafes, agricultural, fishery, and livestock food stores, posting a certification photo on the internal administrative work system, and then nominating the next person.
Since the first challenge participant on the 20th, 130 people have joined within a week, continuing prepayments worth about 14 million won, and considering the total number of public officials is about 1,200, significant consumption is expected in the future.
In particular, until June, Buk-gu plans to promote the ‘Good Consumption Project’ consisting of 10 tasks in six major areas: ▲dining ▲service industry ▲floriculture ▲local currency ▲system improvement ▲private sector expansion, and focuses on publicity using various media such as the district website and SNS to spread the good consumption movement not only among public officials but also to local residents.
