Busan Port Authority's Commendation for 'Contribution to the Revitalization of Traditional Markets and Shopping Districts'.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) received a commendation from the Minister of the Interior and Safety at the ‘2022 Traditional Market and Shopping District Revitalization Merit Awards’ hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and organized by the Small Enterprise and Market Service.

BPA was recognized for its contribution to the development of traditional markets by creating a safe traditional market environment amid COVID-19 and collaborating with merchant associations.

Since establishing a sisterhood relationship with the traditional market near the port, ‘Busan Sujeong Traditional Market,’ in 2011, BPA has continuously supported fire extinguishers and quarantine supplies for infectious disease prevention every year.

In 2021, BPA carried out social contribution activities in cooperation with the traditional market merchant association by creating gift packages composed of traditional market products and delivering them to elderly living alone and low-income children.

To revitalize traditional markets, BPA also conducts the ‘Traditional Market 3GO (Go, Taste, Buy)’ campaign annually for its employees.

When rewarding employees, related organizations, and business groups who contributed to the development of Busan Port, BPA provides Onnuri gift certificates, thereby contributing to increasing sales in traditional markets.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “We will continue to make various efforts to revitalize traditional markets near Busan Port so that the port and local communities can develop and coexist together.”
