Korean Tourism (KTO)

JAKARTA - With the increasing enthusiasm of Indonesians to vacation in South Korea, the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) held the Korea MICE Roadshow twice in Jakarta, namely on August 31 and September 21. This is intended to provide more insight into travel agents and prospective tourists who intend to vacation in South Korea. The reason is, the number of Indonesian incentive tourists to Korea in the first half of 2023 was recorded at 8 thousand people or recovered around 62% compared to the first half of 2019 which amounted to 13 thousand. Kim Jang Sil as CEO of KTO, at the first MICE Roadshow Korean press conference in Kuningan, South Jakarta, also talked about the number of tourist destinations in South Korea that can be visited. “Korea is not as big as Indonesia, but each region has its own culture. The various tourism content and storytelling are unique in each region, so visitors can feel new things wherever visitors visit,” Kim Jang Sil said in a virtual press conference, September 21. Kim also talked about the 100 recommendation tourist attractions that have been broadcast by KTO. He said the tourist attractions had been adjusted to the current conditions to make it easier for tourists from the world, including Indonesia. “Instead of recommending some areas, I suggest tourists to visit the '100 Must-Visit Tourist Spots of Korea in 2023-2024'. KTO has chosen a place carefully taking into account conditions such as tourism and infrastructure trends, places that can be visited throughout Korea in four seasons, popular drama shooting areas, and places that cannot be seen in other countries,” said Kim Jang Sil.

“In addition, wherever tourists visit, tourism infrastructure such as accommodation, transportation, food, and services are complete, and tourist information centers are also operating in each region. In particular, technology infrastructure such as Wi-Fi is available in each region so that MZ (Millennial and generation Z) and FIT (Free Individual Travelers) generation tourists who are accustomed to using smartphones can travel comfortably. In addition, application services of 1330 Travel Helpline are provided 24 hours, so you can overcome difficulties and inconvenience when traveling anywhere in Korea,” he continued. With the roadshow that has been carried out, it is also hoped that it will provide travel agents with the opportunity to consult and expand relations with Korean MICE business actors.
