The Hwasun County Culture and Tourism Foundation (Chairman Koo Bokgyu) announced on September 2 that it has recently signed a business agreement with KOPLE, a regional travel platform for foreign exchange students, and has officially begun efforts to attract foreign tourists.
KOPLE is a global community formed around international students and exchange students residing in Korea, and serves as an exchange platform connecting regional culture and tourism in Korea. With over 2,000 members, it is a specialized company that plans and operates trips to more than 40 small cities across the country.
With this agreement, Hwasun County aims to go beyond simple tourism and create a new global tourism model that serves as a venue for communication between the local community and the world.
The eight KOPLE executives who participated in the agreement stayed in Hwasun for three days, exploring local attractions and actively working on building the platform by planning global tourism products for Hwasun. They also agreed to collaborate on producing foreign language tour guides and conducting promotional and marketing activities. In particular, a one-night, two-day travel package to Hwasun for foreigners is scheduled to be launched in mid-October.
Koo Jongcheon, CEO of the Hwasun County Culture and Tourism Foundation, stated, "Through this agreement, we have laid the foundation to promote Hwasun's rich natural and cultural resources to the world and establish a sustainable global tourism base." He added, "We will create a unique global tourism model for Hwasun through differentiated local travel that brings together young people and foreigners."
