An official from Yeongcheon City stated, "We are waiting for tourism goods that creatively and sensibly capture the charm of Yeongcheon. We expect that Yeongcheon's unique, characteristic, and innovative goods that tourists want to possess will be discovered." This is a remark emphasizing the department's planning capability while declaring the discovery of new souvenirs as part of local tourism vitalization measures repeated every year. The flashy contest outline, which states that prize money will be paid through a winning entry purchase method for a total of 6 entries including 6 million won for the grand prize and actively utilized for future public relations, looks like an exemplary cultural administration that supports local artists and small business owners and strengthens tourism branding. However, cutting out the substance such as securing a systematic distribution network or building a mass production system, and attempting to package tourism vitalization achievements with a mere one-off purchase of 6 entries is hard to avoid criticism as a typical 'performance-oriented showing-off administration.'
The biggest blind spot of this contest is that the 'discovery of goods that tourists want to possess' publicized by Yeongcheon City stops at simple idea collection and short-term purchase, making it difficult to secure commercial competitiveness consumed in the actual market. The method of consuming 6 entries selected through the contest as public relations souvenirs is merely a waste of budget. To truly open the wallets of tourists, an all-out 'End-to-End' business support policy must precede, leading to post-selection design complementary measures, mass production unit price adjustment, and entry into major tourist destinations in the jurisdiction and online platforms. Hanging only the contest title without a detailed design for such post-marketing infrastructure is a typical example of desk administration to fill only immediate performance reports chased by performance anxiety.
In addition, the regulation that tightly binds the participating targets to individuals and business operators located in the Gyeongsangbuk-do and Daegu regions also shows the limitation of anachronistic localism. In an era where digital transformation and hip local branding are the mainstream trends, it completely blocks the innovative perspectives of competent creators and youth designers across the country. Because of the hackneyed barrier of regional restriction, a vicious cycle is predicted where only clichéd results at the level of obvious pottery, traditional crafts, and processed food packages that have been seen before are mass-produced, wasting the budget. They put forward the justification of fairness and local co-prosperity, but in reality, it is an administrative convenience-oriented idea to avoid nationwide competition and choose easy administrative processing.
In the end, this tourism goods contest by Yeongcheon City cleanly shows an aspect of exhibition administration to promote the local government's open administration image through holding an annual contest event, rather than creating a long-term local tourism content ecosystem. Selecting a few winning entries or scattering millions of won in prize money alone cannot break through the chronic stagnation of Yeongcheon tourism. Yeongcheon City must immediately stop superficial media play that promotes holding a contest as an achievement. Instead, completely reviewing the budget execution centered on one-off purchases, it should open doors on a nationwide scale to connect innovative ideas flowing in with the local manufacturing base, and concentrate administrative power on the inherent duty of upgrading a permanent tourism venture nurturing platform.
