Reporter Kwon Ae-ri, friendly economy. Reporter Kwon, Reporter Kwon kindly introduced me last week, but as Corona 19 spreads again, most of the government's discount coupons stopped?

<Reporter>

Yes. The government budget is set at 170 billion won for 8 consumption coupons. A total of 170 billion won worth of discounts was promised to citizens who spend money while going out and doing activities.

Of these, the one that actually burned out to some extent until last week was a discount event when shopping for our agricultural and marine products. The rest are just about to begin.

In particular, during the Liberation Day holiday, which is a temporary holiday, we plan to have a massive distribution of consumption coupons, so discounts for the core of these 8 consumption coupons were just beginning, and most of them were stopped as of yesterday (16th).

First is eating out. Starting from last Friday afternoon, if I eat out five times on the weekends worth over 20,000 won, the sixth time the country has decided to reduce 10,000 won. It was decided to stop on Saturday night, two days after it started.

<Anchor> It

stopped almost as soon as it started, so few people actually got a discount.

<Reporter>

Yes. Originally, I decided not to include it in the usage performance from the third payment per day for eating out. Since it was stopped after just two days, no one has yet received a discount for eating out.

However, it is a holiday until today, so it may take some time for card companies to accurately reflect this new decision in the system.

Some of you have received text messages like what you see now on Friday or Saturday. Five usages began to be recorded so that you could get discounts later.

If there is someone who receives such a text yesterday or today, it means that the text was sent incorrectly, not that it is being recorded to be included in the performance.

However, the government will not cancel this event. This is a temporary suspension. I'm saying there will be a point to start over later.

At that time, from the afternoon of the 14th to the 15th, it is a policy to acknowledge all the results of eating out for two days. But not about eating out from yesterday.

In fact, as the consumption coupon plan became known, there were many voices of concern that it is right now for the country to actively encourage active economic activities outside.

In fact, it is not only in urban gatherings and churches that there is now a concern about outbreaks. Only 40 confirmed cases related to the Paju Starbucks store have been confirmed so far.

Eventually, it was decided to temporarily postpone most of the consumption coupons as the second step was taken to keep the Seoul metropolitan area away on Saturday.

<Anchor> As

you said, it's temporarily postponed, and if Corona 19 gets quiet, this will start again, and I hope that day comes soon. Not only eating out anyway, but what else is stopping?

<Reporter> The

discount of 6,000 won per movie ticket has also been stopped. However, we decided to apply the discount to those who have already made a reservation because they downloaded the discount coupon until yesterday.

However, if you have only downloaded the discount coupon until yesterday and have not made a reservation yet, you cannot use the coupon in the future. This is also a policy to resume later.

Also, until yesterday, I bought museum admission tickets online at a discount, or at Munhwa N Ticket, a ticket reservation site operated by a public institution, some discounts for museum exhibitions started.

Discounts are also applied to those who have already used this. It cannot be done in the future. On the other hand, accommodation and travel reservations are still in progress.

From the 14th to September and October, if you booked accommodations on 24 domestic accommodation reservation sites, you can get discounts from 30,000 to 40,000 won in government money for accommodations with the word'Stay Daejeon'. .

And, travel product discount reservations will start from the 25th. This means that the reservation will continue to proceed because the accommodation or trip actually takes place after September.

Depending on the situation in the future, we have established a policy that you can adjust the period of stay or travel for which discount coupons are applied.

However, in that case, there will be a question of what will happen to those who have already booked accommodation with a government discount until the decision is made.

The policy for this has not been established yet. The answer of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism so far is that it will be reviewed.

In addition, all online reservation discounts for museums, except for sports facilities, performances, and cultural N tickets that were scheduled to be distributed in the future, are also postponed.
