[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] As the Millennium Hilton Seoul prepares to close its operations this year, it is presenting the 'Hilton Train' for the last time. Felix Busch, General Manager of the Millennium Hilton Seoul, expressed on this day, "I hope the memories of several decades will be remembered for a long time."

At the charity train launch event held on the 14th in the main lobby of the Millennium Hilton Seoul Hotel, he said, "We are grateful for the support and encouragement from customers who have been with us for over 40 years."

He added, "The Millennium Hilton Seoul has been a place for families to celebrate anniversaries and for couples to spend their most special days. I hope many people will remember these memories for a long time even after the events are over."

Timothy Soper, former General Manager of the Millennium Hilton Seoul and Vice President of Hilton Korea, Japan, and Micronesia, who came from Japan for the event, said, "Unfortunately, the Hilton Christmas Train will start its final run this year. It has been a train that has consistently been there through all the difficult and good moments."

He continued, "Starting with its first run at Hilton Seoul, the train has continued year-end donations for several decades at various hotels including Shanghai, China, and Nagoya, Japan, raising a total of 2 billion dollars to date. On behalf of all team members, I extend my gratitude."
