Accordingly, the two sides will cooperate to launch campaigns to attract tourists, arrange specialists, train staff and support events organized by the two countries.

The KTO signed a tourism development cooperation agreement with the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines to host the Republic of Korea’s tourism year in 2017 to build new tourism services in the RoK using Vietnam Airlines’ routes.

The Korean organization will also coordinate with the Vietnam Travel and Marketing Transport JSC (Vietravel) to promote comprehensive cooperation on every activity from building new products to promoting products and trademarks.

Last year, more than 160,000 Vietnamese tourists visited the RoK, while Vietnam greeted over 1.1 million Korean tourists.

Vietnamese holidaymaker arrivals to the RoK increased by 50% compared to the same period last year, and the figure is expected to reach 240,000 by year’s end./.
