Go Korea to help visitor boost


The Korea Tourism Organisation has launched a dedicated website for the UK market: Gokorea.co.uk. Tourism to Korea seems to be bucking all the trends, as visitor figures from the UK continue to rise at a dramatic rate and the website hopes to assist agents in finding the right package for their client as well as pinpointing attractions and events. Over the last few years Korea has


increased the number of UNESCO inscribed cultural and natural heritages, which has helped to boost visitation to the country. The Gyeongju World Culture Expo


runs from August 12 until October 10, 2011 with the theme ‘Story of a Thousand Years, Love, Light and Nature’ and features a range of performances and exhibitions from as many as 30 different countries.
