[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Traditional markets and department stores in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, are promoting vaccine events to achieve the government's early target for COVID-19 vaccination (70% by October) and to revitalize the local economy.

Seventeen traditional markets, including Yeokgok Sangsang Market, will give one Onnuri gift certificate worth 5,000 KRW per person to citizens who have completed their COVID-19 vaccination after October.

The event will start on the 18th and will be held on a first-come, first-served basis for 5,000 people until the budget is exhausted. Customers can bring receipts from purchases made during the event period and visit the merchants' office or designated locations in each market to verify their second dose vaccination and receive the gift certificate on site.

The Bucheon Industrial Promotion Agency and the traditional market merchants' association expect this event to increase both vaccination rates and sales.

Lotte Department Store Jungdong Branch will give one Lotte gift certificate worth 5,000 KRW per person to those who have completed their second dose vaccination and have purchased over 50,000 KRW at the food court, food hall, or F&B areas until the 17th.

Additionally, Hyundai Department Store Jungdong Branch will provide VIP lounge spaces to those who have completed their second dose vaccination. There are three lounges in total: Black Jasmine Lounge (7th floor), Jasmine Lounge (9th floor), and Sage Lounge (9th floor), where enhanced quarantine measures have been implemented to create customer spaces.

A Bucheon city official stated, "We will prepare various daily recovery support measures for those who have completed COVID-19 vaccination to create a safe economic activity environment through this event."
