Gwangju City to Operate Social Economy Market at Gwangju Airport Until the 31st
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 15th that it will operate a social economy market on the 1st floor of Gwangju Airport until the 31st to promote the sales of social economy enterprise products.
Due to COVID-19, on-site sales have been sluggish, but with the recent easing of social distancing and an increase in airport users, a special sales market has been established to overcome the crisis.
Six companies, including Tium Welfare Foundation and Yeppeunson Craft Cooperative, are participating and selling various social economy products such as mask straps, pouches, bags, snacks, and bread to airport users.

Gu Jong-cheon, the city’s Job Policy Officer, said, “Through the operation of the social economy market, citizens can easily purchase products from social economy enterprises, and on-site sales will help increase sales and promote companies struggling due to COVID-19.” He added, “We will actively promote sales channel support focused on on-site sales such as markets and fairs, considering the trend of COVID-19 spread.”
