[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 3rd that it will hold the annual "Gyeongbuk Apple Promotion Event," which takes place every November during the peak apple shipping season, as an online festival to prevent the spread of COVID-19.


Under the slogan "Festival Enjoyed Online! Gyeongbuk Apple Promotion Event," this online festival will be held from the 9th to the 30th on the Gyeongbuk Apple Online Promotion Event website. During the event period, various consumer events featuring Gyeongbuk apples will be held along with special discount sales (10-20%).


Prior to this event, Gyeongsangbuk-do held a pre-promotion event on the 3rd in Sejong City, which has recently experienced rapid population growth and is developing as an emerging consumer market, to boost the event atmosphere. The Gyeongbuk Apple Promotion Event, which began in 1977 at the Gyeongbuk Apple Festival, is celebrating its 41st year this year.



Kim Jong-su, Director of the Agriculture, Livestock, and Distribution Bureau of Gyeongsangbuk-do, introduced, "The Gyeongbuk Apple Promotion Event is a traditional event that has continued along with the history of Gyeongbuk apples. While it was previously held as a direct sales event in major cities such as Seoul, this year it has been converted online due to COVID-19, making it an event that the entire nation can participate in."
