She added that the market also promotes tourism and facilitates community participation in diverse experiences. “We also wanted to provide a safe outdoor environment in which families and friends can enjoy beautiful scenery and performances by local musicians, and to give locals the experience that some travel far for,” she said.

“The province’s tourism destinations are marketed by attracting socialites to attend the event and volunteers and temporal staff are hired for the duration of the social market,” she said.
