Yoo Jeongsil, head of the Shanghai Office, said, "Since last November at the Shanghai International Tourism Expo, Shanghai Gangsheng International Travel Agency, which showed interest in our province’s tourist sites, is currently developing two 4-night 5-day wellness Gyeongnam tour courses, and the agency is also planning a product briefing session for its own customers." She added, "Our province’s tourist destinations are the safest and healthiest places to visit during the COVID-19 era, and we are doing our best to promote Gyeongnam tourism in preparation for the post-COVID era after the resumption of Korea-China tourism."
