SOUTH KOREA: Korea to boost night tours to revive tourism

The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) is planning to promote night tour programs in cooperation with local governments to help the tourism industry recover at the earliest possible date, once the pandemic comes to an end. The organization said Korea has a good environment for developing night tours as it is known for its safe streets and 24-hour stores. In mid-February, the KTO began researching the night tour content of each region, with an aim of choosing and announcing 100 recommended programs on April 20. The KTO plans to produce a night tour directory in Korean in mid-April and will also host a night tour international forum in June.
