O Do-chang, Governor of Yeongyang County, Gyeongbuk.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk, completed projects for 23 establishments on the 12th, including general restaurants and public hygiene businesses, to improve hygiene levels and provide convenience to users through the ‘Standing Table Conversion’ and ‘Business Environment Improvement Project’ that have been underway since May.

The ‘Standing Table Conversion’ and ‘Business Environment Improvement Project’ promoted by Yeongyang-gun is a policy initiative started in 2020 to revitalize the local economy by activating the business of hygiene establishments. It aims to welcome customers with a hygienic environment and friendly service in line with the increasing trend of dining out, and to provide customers with a more comfortable and pleasant space service.

This year, the project supported 14 general and rest restaurants, 3 instant sales manufacturing and processing businesses, 4 beauty and hair salons, and 2 lodging businesses. The general restaurant standing table conversion project (replacing floor seating tables with standing tables) was expanded, and it is evaluated that the convenience of using the establishments has been further improved.

In the case of lodging businesses, anticipating many visits from external tourists as the birch forest located in Subi-myeon, the largest scale in the nation, has become a tourist attraction of the county, an additional lodging environment improvement project was promoted proactively to improve lodging conditions.

K, an operator running a general restaurant in Bokgaecheon, Yeongyang-eup, who participated in the county’s hygiene establishment environment improvement support project, said, “Yeongyang-gun’s hygiene establishment support project is a good project that provides practical help for establishments to improve hygiene levels and gain competitiveness, and I hope it continues in the future,” expressing satisfaction with participating in the project.

Oh Do-chang, the governor of Yeongyang-gun, said, “In Yeongyang-gun, where the secondary industry base is significantly lacking, the foundation for revitalizing the local economy starts with activating the commercial districts of local establishments,” and added, “We plan to boldly promote projects for revitalizing the commercial districts of local establishments without hesitation.”
