Hyuga Miyazaki Supporting local restaurants Supporting gifts gift certificate New Corona May 29 5:50

In order to stimulate consumption that has fallen due to the spread of the new coronavirus, local governments are issuing a premium gift certificate independently. Against this backdrop, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture, has begun a rare initiative nationwide to issue gift certificates with additional support money to support local restaurants.

This gift certificate is issued by the Hyuga Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Miyazaki Prefecture, and 20% of that is added to a set of gift certificates that can eat and drink worth 10,000 yen, and sold at 12,000 yen To do.

The restaurant has a mechanism to receive a 20% higher amount when exchanging the gift certificate received for payment at the chamber of commerce, with the aim of supporting the store whose sales are declining due to the spread of infection from a financial perspective.

According to the Chamber of Commerce, such gift certificates are rare in Japan. From next month, 20 sets of 20 500 yen tickets will be sold as one set, and 500 sets will be available for use at about 100 local restaurants.

“The restaurants are very poor right now, so I would like to support the town as soon as possible, so that the town can be more energetic,” said Jun Miwa, chairman of the Hyuga Chamber of Commerce.
