Michael Michael, Marketing Manager of the Korea Tourism Organisation in London said

“It is a little known fact that our two countries have had such close links for so long and this was an ideal opportunity to tell everyone about it and to help raise awareness of the attractions of Korea as a holiday destination and Seoul as a Far East stopover”.
