Various programs were prepared for the campaign, including the prize event 'Paldomabul', local government tourism promotions, tastings of regional foods, summer music performances, and social media (SNS) certification activities.

At 'Paldomabul', prizes such as local currency and tour passes usable at domestic vacation destinations were offered, and the tasting booth provided regionally distinctive snacks such as Daejeon fried soybeans and Miryang Eoreumgol apple juice.

In his welcoming remarks, KBA Chairman Ryu Jin said, "Countless local markets, lodging businesses, and self-employed individuals rely on even the smallest acts of consumption. It is time to revive the heart of our weakened domestic demand," adding, "I strongly encourage everyone to spend their summer vacation in Korea. I myself will be visiting Sangha Ranch in Gochang, North Jeolla Province."

The KBA stated, "We hope this campaign will help local small business owners and the self-employed," and added, "We will continue to carry out various activities to boost the domestic economy and restore livelihoods."
