On this occasion, Gyeonggi Province announced the decision to establish a Tourism Delegation to promote Gyeonggi Tourism, including 36 members from: Gyeonggi Provincial Tourism Promotion Agency, related agencies and travel businesses. Accordingly, from May 28 to June 2, 2017, the above units will coordinate to organize a series of events such as B2B Meeting, Tourism Introduction Seminar, non-verbal art performance... to widely promote Gyeonggi's tourism resources such as film studios, theme parks, ski resorts, restaurant facilities, resorts,... to the target audience of travel businesses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Since the Mers epidemic ended in 2015, Vietnam has been considered a potential tourism market, reflected by a growth rate of 54.5%, ranking second in the list of international tourists to Korea in 2016. Realizing this development potential early, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government has been planning to exploit and develop the Vietnamese market after the Chinese Government banned Chinese tourists from traveling to Korea.
