The Gyeongnam Tourism Souvenir Shop has launched a special Chuseok promotion featuring discounts on locally produced gifts, food, traditional liquor and other regional products.

Running from August 24 through September 30, the promotion includes a selection of 20 recommended Chuseok gifts highlighting products from across Gyeongsangnam-do.

All items at the physical store, located on the first floor of the Changwon Exhibition Convention Center (CECO), will be discounted by 10% during the promotion.

Customers purchasing at least 500,000 won of the same product can receive an additional 5% discount, while gifts will also be available for qualifying purchases while supplies last.

Online shoppers can receive a 5% discount coupon through the store’s Naver Smart Store.

The promotion also includes additional support for businesses in Geoje and Tongyeong, which were recently affected by heavy rainfall and flooding.

Products from participating businesses in the two areas will receive an additional 5% discount on top of the standard 10%, bringing the total discount to 15%.

The special offer covers 66 products from 10 Geoje businesses and 93 products from 14 Tongyeong businesses.

The promotion is intended both to provide shoppers with locally made Chuseok gift options and to help participating regional businesses expand sales ahead of the holiday.
