Cho Wonyong, President of Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, said, "I hope this trip provided the participating children with an opportunity to experience local tourism resources that are usually hard to access and to create precious memories. We will continue to actively discover and support social contribution activities that align with the nature of our organization."
