[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Amid the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, a non-face-to-face event utilizing a drive-thru, hosted by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and Jeju Tourism Organization, is scheduled, drawing attention.

On the 19th, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and Jeju Tourism Organization announced that the “2020 Jeju Drive Eat Show,” a non-face-to-face drive-thru event using Jeju’s local ingredients, will be held over two days from November 7th (Sat) to 8th (Sun) around Jeju Sports Complex.

The province and the organization planned the “Jeju Drive Eat Show” in a drive-thru format to serve as an economic revitalization venue for recovering Jeju’s economy, which has been depressed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and to support local small business owners facing difficulties in product promotion and sales channels.

This event combines the non-face-to-face drive-thru method to allow visitors to enjoy a variety of foods in one place, including Jeju’s unique desserts/bakery items, coffee/beverages, ready-to-eat meals, and agricultural, fishery, and livestock products.

To prevent vehicle congestion and minimize traffic jams within the event site, the “2020 Jeju Drive Eat Show” divided vehicle movement into two zones: the “Hi-Pass Zone” and the “Drive-Pass Zone.” The “Hi-Pass Zone” is where buyers who purchased items through the online mall before the event pick up their orders, while the “Drive-Pass Zone” refers to the area where on-site visitors remain in their vehicles and slowly drive past each participating company’s booth to purchase products.

The online mall for pre-purchasing, “Market Eat Show (www.marketeatshow.com),” will operate from October 19th (Mon) to November 1st (Sun). It allows visitors to check information about approximately 50 participating companies and purchase their products, as well as preview information about side events of the “2020 Jeju Drive Eat Show.”

Additionally, “Market Eat Show” offers delivery services by courier for purchased products to areas outside Jeju, enabling not only residents but also those living outside the province to enjoy Jeju’s distinctive flavors.

A representative from Jeju Tourism Organization stated, “We are planning an event that gathers Jeju’s special foods to delight the eyes and taste buds of many visitors to the venue,” adding, “We will prepare the event with various activities to support many people exhausted by COVID-19.”

Meanwhile, the first Jeju Eat Show was held at the Jeju International Convention Center from November 30 to December 1, 2019, with 70 companies participating, approximately 17,000 visitors attending, and generating about 220 million KRW in sales.
