Jeonnam Province is hosting a three-day familiarization tour (fam tour) for 15 local travel agencies affiliated with the Mongolian-Korean Tourism Association (MOKTA) until November 12.

The Mongolian-Korean Tourism Association is an organization approved by the Mongolian government, established in December 2022 with over 70 member travel agencies, aiming to promote tourism and cultural exchanges between Korea and Mongolia.

In September, Jeonnam Province held a tourism briefing session in Ulaanbaatar and signed a business agreement with partner travel agencies and local agencies to operate specialized travel products in Jeonnam. This fam tour was organized to promote Jeonnam tourism to local Mongolian travel agencies and to accelerate the attraction of Mongolian tourists.

Mongolia is a landlocked country with no access to the sea and experiences extremely cold winters. As a result, Mongolian tourists tend to prefer marine tourism and warm resort destinations, making Jeonnam's tourist attractions highly appealing.

The fam tour consists of a two-night, three-day itinerary exploring major marine tourism resources in Jeonnam, including Yeosu, Suncheon, Mokpo, and Shinan. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience Jeonnam's flavorful cuisine, such as marinated crab set meals, cockle set meals, and dried yellow corvina with barley rice.

Oh Mikyung, Director of Tourism at Jeonnam Province, stated, "Following the Jeonnam Tourism Briefing held in Mongolia, the Mongolian Educational Travel Association has promised to visit the '2026 Yeosu World Island Expo' as a school trip destination next year, reflecting the growing interest in Jeonnam tourism. We will continue to do our utmost to raise awareness of Jeonnam tourism so that more international tourists visit the province."
