[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Gimhae Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Gyeongnam announced on the 2nd that it recently joined the 'Hope Prepayment Campaign' to help small business owners struggling due to the spread of COVID-19 and the escalation of social distancing measures.

The prepayment campaign is a voluntary consumption promotion movement where customers prepay at small business establishments such as restaurants and cafes they frequently visit and promise to revisit.

Chairman Park Myung-jin participated in the prepayment relay on the 2nd by visiting a nearby restaurant near the chamber and encouraged small business owners exhausted by worsening business conditions while promising to revisit.

As small business owners are facing difficulties in making a living due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the Gimhae Chamber plans to encourage its member companies to participate so that more local businesses can join the campaign.

Chairman Park said, "I hope this campaign can give hope to local small business owners and become a spark to revive the local commercial district," adding, "Since everyone is going through difficult times, the Gimhae Chamber will do its best to help the local economy take off again."

Meanwhile, Chairman Park designated Jeon Min-hyun, President of Inje University, Jung Dong-joo, Director of Gimhae Tax Office, and Kim Hyun-hee, Director of Gimhae Office of Education, as the next relay participants.
