There needs to be mutual understanding of each other’s legacy, history and culture. Such festivals help in a great way to fortify and deepen the understanding.”

He added further, “Number of Indians travelling abroad has increased three fold in the last one decade. Indian outbound travel to South Korea is on the rise too. In 2016 approx 200,000 Indian travelers visited South Korea and the numbers are growing with an average rate of 10 to 15% year on year. South Korea is a land of green, hilly countryside, centuries-old Buddhist temples and offers an unadulterated tinge of adventure to international travelers. We hope to reach a large section of aspiring Indian travelers and tap into exponentially growing Indian tourism sector through the Korea festival. We are positive that the endeavor will highlight Korean splendor in its true spirit to our Indian friends.”

Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the internet will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before. “No one has the right to destroy another person’s belief by demanding empirical evidence.” by Ann Landers.
