The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization has launched a signal flare for achieving this year's goal of attracting 4 million overseas tourists to the province by hosting a large-scale Chinese incentive tourism group of 800 people for the first time since 2019.

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced on the 27th that 800 executives and employees of Guangzhou Wonyuan Biological Technology Co., Ltd., a health and wellness product sales company in Guangzhou, China, visited Gyeonggi Province on the 25th through an in-house incentive tourism program.

This incentive tourism group plans to visit major tourist attractions in the province, such as Yongin Korean Folk Village, Gapyeong Petite France, and the Italian Village, until the 29th.

On the 26th, Jo Wonyong, president of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, personally attended the chicken and beer party held at Yongin Korean Folk Village, delivering a congratulatory speech and providing the Chinese incentive group with a unique and meaningful experience.

In his congratulatory speech, Jo Wonyong said, "I am very pleased and honored that a large group of 800 executives and employees have visited Korea and are able to hold a chicken and beer party at the unique venue of Gyeonggi Province, the Korean Folk Village. I hope that through this exotic and special experience, Gyeonggi Province and Guangzhou will continue to build greater trust and bonds, and especially that this will be a good opportunity for more Chinese tourists to visit Gyeonggi Province."

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization estimated the economic effect of this visit at 1.5 billion KRW.

Previously, the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization has been making continuous efforts both domestically and internationally to attract incentive tourism in cooperation with Gyeonggi Province and the Korea Tourism Organization. They are steadily scouting incentive venues available for events in the province and actively promoting distinctive local tourism content.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization plan to significantly strengthen preemptive marketing to enhance competitiveness in attracting incentive tourism, including participating in the incentive tourism tour product planning expo scheduled for April.
