Damyang County Council Holds Meeting to Explore Measures for Revitalizing Local Commercial Districts

Collecting Opinions from Merchant Association Officials Hosted by Damyang-gun Tourism Revitalization Research Group

The Damyang County Council's research group, Damyang County Tourism Revitalization Research Association, announced on the 24th that it held a meeting on the 20th and 21st to gather opinions from merchant association officials to explore ways to revitalize the local commercial district.

The Damyang County Tourism Revitalization Research Association is composed of five members, led by Vice Chairman and chief research member Park Jun-yeop, including Chairman Choi Yong-man, Councilor Jeong Cheol-won, Councilor Choi Yong-ho, and Councilor Park Eun-seo.

This year, under the research theme of "Measures to Revitalize Traditional Markets and Local Shops through Linking Damyang County's Tourism Resources," the group is analyzing the current status of Damyang's tourism industry and local commercial districts, conducting field activities to derive practical research outcomes such as gathering stakeholders' opinions and investigating best practices.

At this meeting, not only representatives from traditional markets and merchant associations but also officials from relevant departments of Damyang County Office attended to listen to the difficulties faced by local merchants and share various opinions and ideas for revitalizing the local commercial district.

Vice Chairman Park Jun-yeop stated, "While Damyang's tourism industry utilizing ecological resources is thriving, the local commercial district centered around the old downtown area remains stagnant despite various policy attempts. Through this research, we plan to derive practical revitalization measures for traditional markets and local shops linked to Damyang's tourism resources."

The Damyang County Council supports the activities of councilor research groups to seek ways to develop county administration and to develop effective policies.

In 2023, two research groups are registered and conducting research activities: ▲ Damyang County Tourism Revitalization Research Association (chief research member Park Jun-yeop) and ▲ Damyang County Agricultural Development Research Association (chief research member Choi Hyun-dong).
