The latest educational presentation of Tourist Boards from Croatia in Seoul has confirmed a great interest of Korean tourists in Croatia.
In organization of the Croatian Tourist Board representatives of the Tourist Board of the Lika-Senj County, the Tourist Board of the city of Zagreb, the Tourist Board of Sibenik as well as the Tourist Board of Dubrovnik attended the Seoul presentation on the 7th of June, which gathered 74 representatives of Korean travel agencies and a dozen Korean journalists.
The presentation of Croatia's tourist offer continues at the Hana Tour International Travel Show, which is being held also in Seoul from the 8th to the 11th of June.
''The more intense interest of Koreans in Croatia as well as an impressive increase in the volume of physical traffic from that market started with a filming of several reality shows through which Koreans had the opportunity to see the beauty of our country. Considering the economic growth and the increasing global power of the Far East countries, the importance of this tourist pool that consists of China, Japan and Korea, needs to be recognized. These nations love to travel, and on average they spend hundreds of millions of American dollars a year'', explained Zeljana Sikic, the manager of the Tourist Board of the Sibenik-Knin County.
On this occasion, Sikic also emphasized that the main motive for Koreans to visit Croatia is not only the sun and the sea, thus they mostly come in the off-season period.
