Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, launched a campaign to stabilize prices at vacation spots during the holiday season.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, conducted a campaign to establish a sound commercial transaction order at vacation spots during the holiday season on the 3rd at Jangyu Daecheong Valley and Sangdong Jangcheok Valley areas.

The campaign involved city officials, price monitoring agents, and consumer organizations.

They shouted slogans such as "No Overcharging, Wise Consumption OK, Driving Force for Price Stability," promoting ▲ restraint from excessive price increases ▲ compliance with price labeling regulations, and encouraged the use of the city's good price businesses and the public delivery app "Meokkebi."

The city announced on the 4th that it has designated the period from July 14 to September 4 as a special price stabilization measure period during the holiday season.

During this period, the city monitors prices in major local vacation spots, including lodging and food service industries, to prevent overcharging and collusion among businesses during the holiday season.

Additionally, 14 price survey monitoring agents are deployed weekly to check prices of 38 essential daily goods and 26 personal service sectors to prevent overcharging and encourage price increase restraint.

Mayor Hong Taeyong stated, "With the expected increase in vacationers due to the lifting of COVID-19 social distancing, we will do our best to establish commercial transaction order so that citizens and tourists do not experience inconvenience, and to manage price stability in response to high inflation."
