Along with “Busan! Again“ campaign, the South Korean city will establish an internal and external consultation system and actively attract and hold small-scale VIP events and mid-to-large-scale hybrid MICE events.
An official from Busan Tourism Organisation said, “As the landscape of the MICE industry at home and abroad has been changing rapidly for the last three years of the COVID-19 crisis, it is necessary to support not only the conference and exhibition infrastructure that can be used both online and offline, but also tourism resources such as unique venues.”
About seven large international conferences with more than 1,000 people are scheduled to be held in Busan in 2022.
