South Korea's tourism promotion agency said Wednesday it will participate in China's largest tourism expo this week, as the local tourism industry steps up efforts to attract more visitors from the neighboring country amid signs of improvements in Seoul-Beijing relations.
The Korea Tourism Organization said it will promote a visit to the country at the three-day China International Travel Mart, which will kick off in Kunming, southwest China, on Friday.
Major city governments and the operator of South Korea's main gateway Incheon International Airport will join the KTO to restore cooperative relations with their Chinese counterparts which have been soured in the face of a diplomatic row between the two countries over a US anti-missile system, it said.
