Sinpo Market, located in the Sinpo-dong area of Incheon Metropolitan City, is said to have originated in the late 19th century as a place selling high-quality vegetables to Japanese, Chinese, and Westerners who had settled in the area. As the number of tourists and international merchants visiting Incheon via car ferries and cruise ships has increased significantly every year, Sinpo Market, situated close to the International Passenger Terminal, has developed into an international merchant market that integrates multinational cultures. Furthermore, an International Merchant Support Center has been established within the market, featuring an information desk and self-service offices to provide trade information, shopping and tourism guidance, and interpretation services to domestic and international small-scale traders and tourists visiting the market. Sinpo International Market was officially registered as a market in 1970, and currently houses a diverse range of businesses.
