"Expectations for Revitalizing the Local Economy"

Seo-gu District in Gwangju (District Mayor Kim Ikang) will hold the alley restaurant visit challenge, 'Good Three Meals,' for one month until the 14th of next month, targeting more than 1,300 public officials of Seo-gu District Office.

According to Seo-gu on the 17th, this challenge is conducted by having public officials visit three out of 100 alley restaurants selected by Seo-gu, write reviews about the taste, service, and atmosphere, and share them on social media. The Health and Hygiene Division plans to maximize promotional effects through a participant lottery event.

The district plans to continue the visit challenge in conjunction with the mobile walking app (WalkOn), and to further vitalize alley businesses by expanding participation to all residents and conducting SNS promotional events in various ways.

This challenge is especially meaningful as it originated from the suggestions of alley restaurant owners. The owners hope to draw citizens' attention through the challenge and are willing to actively participate in finding ways for mutual growth among alley businesses.

Kim Ikang, the district mayor, said, "This challenge is being held to revitalize the stagnant alley business district, and I hope the interest and participation of Seo-gu public officials will contribute to the local economy. We will continue to faithfully promote projects to support small business owners, such as greatly expanding alley-type shopping districts."

Meanwhile, the 'Our Neighborhood Alley Restaurant' project is a program that selects small-scale restaurants with excellent taste, hospitality, and hygiene, and provides consulting and promotional support. It aims to vitalize the alley economy and further develop it into a unique tourism resource of Seo-gu.
