“No Overcharging at Jinhae Gunhangje Festival” ... Becoming Korea’s Best Model Festival Again

Changwon Special City and Committee Introduce One-Strike-Out System, Reward Program for Reporting, and Booth Real-Name System Measures

The Jinhae Gunhangje Festival, a representative spring flower festival in Changwon, is just 5 days away.

This year, the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival plans to become a model festival in Korea by focusing all efforts on eradicating overcharging and managing vendors.

The Yi Chungmugong Gunhangje Committee held a "Temporary Business Facility Vendor Training and Overcharging Eradication Resolution Meeting" on the 18th at the Jinhae Nonghyup Hanaro Mart.

The scene of the resolution rally to eradicate overcharging.

At the event, about 80 booth vendors attended and received fire prevention and gas safety training, followed by a resolution to eliminate resale activities, promote kindness and cleanliness, and eradicate overcharging.

To completely root out the overcharging issues that were problematic last year, Changwon City and the committee have prepared various measures such as a one-strike-out policy for resale activities, a real-name system for booths, a reward system for reporting, expulsion upon detection of overcharging, and the establishment of a reporting center.

A reporting center for overcharging has been set up at Jungwon Rotary, and a task force has been formed to conduct swift and effective crackdowns. Upon receiving a report, the site is immediately inspected and evidence is collected; clear cases are dealt with on the spot, while disputes between parties are resolved according to decisions made by an internal review committee.

Furthermore, businesses caught overcharging will be permanently expelled from the Gunhangje Festival and publicly disclosed on the website.

Changwon Special City and the committee plan to make the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival an overcharging-free event through these efforts, providing tourists with a safe and enjoyable festival experience.
