Starting from September 22, the county has doubled the purchase limit for Hwacheon Love Gift Certificates from 500,000 won to 1 million won, in accordance with relevant laws and ordinances.

The special discount rate applied at the time of purchase has also been significantly increased from 10% to 15%.

These benefits apply exclusively to the electronic (card-type and mobile) Hwacheon Love Gift Certificates.

This measure is intended to prevent illegal currency exchange and fraudulent receipt of gift certificates.

The card-type electronic gift certificates can be purchased at local branches of Nonghyup, Shinhyup, the Forestry Cooperative, and Dachang Saemaeul Geumgo in Hwacheon, while the mobile version can be purchased non-face-to-face through the local gift certificate application 'chak'.

The county plans to continue this special discount policy through the end-of-year holiday season, until December 31.

Additionally, from September 29 to October 1, the county will hold a Hwacheon traditional market shopping campaign for three days, involving all departments at the county office.

Employees from each department will participate in the event, shopping for Chuseok at the traditional market and having lunch there as well.

Moreover, Hwacheon County is supporting participation in direct sales markets in the Seoul metropolitan area to help increase farmers' income during the holiday season.

The county provided partial support for participation fees for local businesses at the Chuseok agricultural products direct sales market held at Jung-gu Office in Seoul on September 16-17, the direct sales market in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on September 20, and the Chuseok direct sales market held in front of Seoul City Hall from September 24-26.

Choi Moonsun, the governor of Hwacheon County, said, "We are doing our utmost to ensure that our residents have a bountiful and joyful Chuseok holiday."
