Korea offers 20 places for G20 participants to visit



As the host and chair of the G20 Summit slated for this November, Korea looks to recommend 20 of the best rural places where foreigners must visit to see the nation’s most attractive scenery and well-preserved traditional culture.

The Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MIFFAF) said on Tuesday that it will launch the Rural 20 supporters program, which will continue from Aug. 11 through November. 

Under the initiative, the ministry will invite a total of 2,100 foreigners to the 20 best rural areas across the country over the next three months for the verbal marketing. 

``After picking the 20 best places, we have commissioned a pilot run with around 200 expatriates here. The responses were great ― they said that they saw the true scenery of Korea,’’ MIFFAF official Ha Jee-eun said. 

``After finishing the tour, we believe the participants will market the rural areas via word of mouth. Then an increasing number of foreigners will learn about the sites and visit them.’’
