The county outlined key action items as follows: ▲ Spreading rational and sound consumption habits ▲ Giving priority to using local stores, traditional markets, and small business establishments ▲ Immediately reporting illegal activities such as forced sales of high-priced goods or false and exaggerated advertisements ▲ Promoting the "Good Price, Good Consumption" campaign ▲ Establishing a virtuous economic cycle by revitalizing local commercial districts.
A county official stated, "When all residents practice rational consumption and actively use local businesses, the local economy becomes even stronger," and emphasized, "In particular, if you suspect any illegal business activities, please report them immediately to the Korea Consumer Agency or the Geochang County Economic and Enterprise Division."
