During the campaign, local businesses were asked to comply with price labeling regulations and to eliminate unfair overcharging. Promotional materials were distributed to vacationers and consumers, encouraging them to use local products and fairly priced establishments.
The county has designated a special price stabilization period until the 31st, focusing on vacation spots within the jurisdiction. Authorities are inspecting compliance with price labeling, operating a price control situation room, and running a center for reporting unfair charges, all to ensure fair transactions at vacation destinations during the holiday season.
Deputy County Governor Lee Byungcheol stated, "With the peak vacation season upon us, we will strive to foster reasonable consumer prices, increase tourist spending, and create vacation destinations that satisfy everyone while revitalizing the local economy."
