The Yeongdeok Market Modernization Promotion Team in Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk, conducted an advanced site visit to Gugyeong Market in Danyang-gun, Chungbuk, with about 30 participants including Yeongdeok Market merchants and local residents to strengthen the capabilities of traditional markets.

Yeongdeok Market Prosperity Association members are holding a discussion on revitalizing market management.

The participants experienced specialized foods utilizing local specialties and listened to know-how on revitalizing advanced market management through cooperative operation in order to benchmark Gugyeong Market, which was selected as one of the Top 10 K-Tourism Markets in 2023.

One trainee who attended the event expressed satisfaction, saying, "This visit was a meaningful time to realize that harmony and unity among merchants are important for revitalizing traditional markets."

Through visits to excellent markets, we will efficiently apply various best practices such as developing specialized foods and efficient market management to our county and promote successful commercial district revitalization projects tailored to the characteristics of our region."
