But that’s not all. Several popular travel writers will also be available to provide travel counseling. Furthermore, visitors to the Korea Travel Expo 2017 can listen to a variety of stories about various tourist attractions and destinations from tour and culture guides at each booth. There will also be an experience zone that will showcase arts and culture that can be found while traveling across Korea.
Of course, no travel expo would be complete without the souvenirs! Visitors can purchase products from various regions that are not easily accessible in Seoul.
