    The Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 18th that it will conduct an invitation tour for 14 officials from the Japan Association of Travel Agents, member companies, and airlines, which will last until the 21st.

    This is the first visit to Korea by Japanese travel industry officials in about two years, since tourism exchange between Korea and Japan was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The group will inspect major popular tourist destinations in Korea to develop new products in preparation for the resumption of free travel. In Seoul, they will visit Gyeongbok Palace, the traditional market "Tongin Market," the observatory of Lotte World Tower, the Itaewon area, which was the setting for the drama "Itaewon Class," and the Sewoon Sangga area, the filming location for "Vincenzo.".

    They are also scheduled to travel to Gangneung, Gangwon Province, a tourism hub city, and inspect the immersive media art exhibition hall "ARTE MUSEUM Gangneung," among other sites.

    They will also hold a meeting with domestic travel industry representatives, including the Korea Association of Travel Agents, to discuss cooperation measures for revitalizing future mutual tourism exchange.

    In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 3.27 million people visited Korea from Japan in one year.
