30% Discount at 26 Traditional Markets in Gyeongbuk Special Disaster Zones: Andong, Uiseong, Cheongsong, Yeongyang, Yeongdeok, Cheongdo

On August 27, the Gyeongbuk Provincial Government announced that it is actively promoting the "Digital Onnuri Gift Certificate Rebate Event" to help restore commercial districts in wildfire-affected areas designated as special disaster zones and to revitalize the local economy.

This rebate event is a project initiated by the Gyeongbuk Provincial Government and implemented through a government supplementary budget, aiming to directly support merchants and residents struggling due to wildfire damage and to revive stagnant consumer sentiment.

The rebate event allows customers who purchase goods worth at least 10,000 won using Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates at traditional markets within special disaster zones to receive a 20% rebate, with a maximum weekly rebate of 20,000 won per person.

As a result, consumers receive a 10% discount when purchasing Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates and an additional 20% rebate when buying goods, effectively receiving a total discount of 30%.

Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates refer to Onnuri Gift Certificates that can be used by installing the Digital Onnuri app, registering an existing card, charging funds, and making payments either with a physical card or via QR code.

The event period runs from August 24 until the end of December, and the rebate applies to 26 traditional markets and shopping districts in Andong, Uiseong, Cheongsong, Yeongyang, Yeongdeok, and Cheongdo, which have been designated as special disaster zones.

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Government expects this event to boost the circulation of Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates and provide tangible support to residents in their daily spending. In particular, the government plans to maximize the effects of revitalizing traditional markets, restoring commercial districts, and creating a virtuous cycle in the local economy.

The provincial government also plans to collaborate with local market merchant associations to operate promotional booths and provide visitor guidance at market sites, thereby increasing participation in the event.

Lee Jaehun, Director of Economic and Trade Affairs at the Gyeongbuk Provincial Government, stated, "This rebate event will provide substantial benefits to residents of special disaster zones and will be a significant boost in restoring commercial districts affected by wildfires. We will continue to develop various programs to stimulate local consumption and do our utmost to help affected residents quickly return to their daily lives."
