Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) launches its new tourism brand “Imagine your Korea”
With the aim of attracting up to 20 million tourists in the forthcoming years, the Republic of Korea has launched its new tourism brand “Imagine your Korea”.
Resulting from an online contest carried out by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea and KTO which attracted over 9,000 participants, the new brand reflects the country’s natural blend of modernity and tradition, and intends to reinforce Korea’s image as a creative and attractive destination with multiple natural and cultural attractions able to appeal to the young and experienced traveller alike.
As the President of KTO, Mr. Choo Suk Byun, says: “With the launching of the new brand, we can reinforce the global awareness that Korea is a creative country filled with the latest trends and sophisticated culture, thereby contributing to the opening of an era that welcomes 20 million foreign tourists”.
To accompany the launch of the new brand, a promotional clip featuring K-Pop star Big-Bang, KTO’s official PR Ambassador, will be released in China, Japan, Russia and throughout South-east Asia.
