The county announced that it will participate in the ‘Seoul International Tourism Fair’ held at SETEC in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, from the 9th to the 12th for four days, promoting ‘Sancheong, Korea’s No.1 Anti-Aging Wellness Travel Destination.’

Hosted and organized by Cotfa Co., Ltd., a specialized company in tourism exhibitions and fairs, this fair is an event where visitors can check tourism-related content such as domestic and international travel information, B2B travel shops, and medical tourism marts all in one place.

About 200 companies including domestic and international tourism-related organizations, local governments, travel agencies, airlines, and hotels will participate, with around 300 booths set up.

Tourism offices and over 110 overseas organizations and companies from more than 20 countries including China, Russia, Japan, the Philippines, Poland, Egypt, Macao, and Paraguay will participate.
