Goseong-gun Expands Issuance of Goseong Love Gift Certificates and Raises Individual Purchase Limits

29 Billion KRW Issued in September for Chuseok
Maximum Personal Purchase Limit Raised to 1 Million KRW

Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will issue 2.9 billion KRW worth of Goseong Love Gift Certificates in September, increasing by 700 million KRW compared to last month, to revitalize the local economy and benefit consumers during the Chuseok holiday.

The gift certificates will be issued in the amounts of 1.3 billion KRW in paper certificates, 1.3 billion KRW in mobile certificates, and 300 million KRW in card certificates. Starting from September 1, they will be sold at a 10% discount. The individual purchase limit is 500,000 KRW combined for paper and card certificates, and an additional 500,000 KRW for mobile certificates.

Purchasing methods include buying mobile and card-type certificates via the Zero Pay app and the local love gift certificate app ‘chak’ starting from 1:00 AM, and purchasing paper certificates at local financial institutions from 9:00 AM.

Sales are on a first-come, first-served basis and will end once the monthly issuance amount is exceeded.

County Governor Sang-geun Lee stated, “By expanding the issuance of Goseong Love Gift Certificates, we expect not only increased sales for traditional markets and small business owners during the holiday season but also relief for household burdens amid high inflation. We hope that residents will actively use the local love gift certificates and enjoy a warm and abundant holiday season.”

Since 2018, Goseong-gun has issued Goseong Love Gift Certificates to prevent capital outflow and promote local consumption. In 2023, it plans to sell 28 billion KRW worth at a discount, playing a significant role in revitalizing the local economy.
