Once designated as a Namdo Food Master, the restaurant will display a Namdo Food Master sign at its entrance and be included in promotional booklets produced by Jeollanam-do, which are distributed to local tourism associations, tourist information centers, dining industry associations, hotels, and resorts within the province.

Support will also be provided for creating individual mobile websites for each establishment, promotion on tourism portal sites, the provincial government website, and the production of Namdo food maps. A city official stated, “We will take the lead in revitalizing local tourism by improving hygienic food culture to uphold the reputation of the Namdo Food Master.”
