The Kaohsiung Revitalization Shopping Carnival is about to debut! Mayor Han Kuo-yu: Hopes to increase economic activity

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit every industry. To revitalize the economy and stimulate consumption, Kaohsiung City specially planned the "Kaohsiung Revitalization Shopping Carnival" event. Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu yesterday (the 26th), together with Deputy Mayor Yeh Kuang-shih, Economic Development Bureau Director Fu Ho-chung, Tourism Bureau Director Chiu Chun-lung, Cultural Affairs Bureau Chief Secretary Liu Hsiu-ying, and other city government colleagues, jointly held a press conference to report to fellow citizens.

At the start, Department of Health Senior Technical Specialist Pan Chao-ying noted that since Kaohsiung City established its Level 1 response center on January 25, it has been a full four months, 122 days, and still maintained zero local infections. The biggest challenge at present is responding to the upcoming fishing season. Kaohsiung has already matched 18 quarantine hotels and prepared more than 1,600 beds, meeting the quarantine needs of deep-sea fishing boats returning to Kaohsiung Harbor. Pan Chao-ying also reminded that, regarding epidemic prevention policy, the city government has set the tone as "effective management, revitalization and activity," reminding fellow citizens that the global pandemic challenge remains severe, and that while implementing the new normal of epidemic prevention, they must still pay attention to the four major strategies: maintaining movement distance, real-name registration, health monitoring, and crowd flow control.

Kaohsiung City Economic Development Bureau Director Fu Ho-chung reported that this Revitalization Shopping Carnival event runs from June 1 to August 31. During the event period, as long as you spend 500 yuan or more in Kaohsiung City, you can register your receipt on the event platform to take part in lucky draws such as "daily draw for a 50,000 yuan voucher," "weekly draw for gold," and "monthly draw for a car." In addition, if people stay one night or more at a hotel in Kaohsiung City, each room receives a 200 yuan voucher, which can be used at 16 night markets and many shopping district stores in Kaohsiung. It is hoped that through this promotional event, Kaohsiung's booming consumption business opportunities will reappear in the post-pandemic period.
