[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo County announced on the 12th that it will sell 5 billion won worth of Jindo Arirang gift certificates at a 10% discounted price to revive the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19.

During this discount period, the 'Jindo Arirang gift certificates' can be purchased up to 700,000 won per month and 6 million won per year, with the discount rate increased from the previous 5% to 10%.

The certificates can be purchased at 18 financial institutions within the county (excluding post offices) with an ID, and minors under the age of 19 are not allowed to purchase them.

They can be used like cash at 1,235 affiliated stores within the county, including restaurants, marts, academies, hospitals, and pharmacies, which display the designated 'Jindo Arirang gift certificate' sticker.
