[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gyeongsangnam-do will hold an Onnuri gift certificate refund event at Masan Fish Market, Tongyeong Seoho Market, and Namhae Traditional Market from the 14th to the 21st.

According to the province, during this period, if you purchase domestic seafood at the three markets, you can receive up to 30% of the purchase amount on the same day back in Onnuri gift certificates.

The gift certificates will be issued on-site with a limit of 20,000 KRW per person.

The province stated that the event was organized to revitalize traditional markets and promote the consumption of domestic seafood in order to recover consumer sentiment, which has been weakened due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and high inflation.

The plan is to refund a total of 220 million KRW worth of Onnuri gift certificates during the event period.

Considering the scale of domestic seafood handling and the willingness of market participation, the event will be conducted with a budget of 70 million KRW each for Masan Fish Market and Tongyeong Seoho Market, and 80 million KRW for Namhae Traditional Market.

The refund applies to domestic seafood and processed foods made from domestic raw materials such as salted seafood purchased on the same day.

If you bring the same-day payment card receipt or cash receipt to the event booth, you can receive Onnuri gift certificates according to the purchase amount.

▲ For purchases of 68,000 KRW or more, 20,000 KRW ▲ For purchases between 51,000 KRW and less than 68,000 KRW, 15,000 KRW ▲ For purchases between 34,000 KRW and less than 51,000 KRW, 10,000 KRW ▲ For purchases between 17,000 KRW and less than 34,000 KRW, 5,000 KRW will be given.

Purchases made with Zero Pay online gift certificate discount items, government stockpiled seafood release items, and general restaurants such as sashimi restaurants are not included.

A provincial official urged, “Since the gift certificate allocation for each market may run out early, please check with the merchants’ association by phone before visiting the market to confirm the availability of gift certificates.”

A representative of the Namhae Traditional Market Merchants’ Association said, “We expect the number of customers visiting the traditional market to increase due to the Onnuri gift certificate refund event,” adding, “It is a great opportunity to showcase our region’s quality seafood to visiting customers and encourage repeat visits.”

Sung Heung-taek, Director of the Marine and Port Department of Gyeongnam Province, said, “The government and local governments are conducting Onnuri gift certificate refund events as part of price stabilization measures for the Lunar New Year,” and added, “We will continue to promote this during Chuseok as well to lower the cost of living for residents, stimulate seafood consumption, and revive the local economy.”
