News South Korea to fund research into prospects for inter-Korean “peace tourism”Seoul to spend USD$175,562 investigating potential for cross-border travel
Seoul’s state-run Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) plans to investigate the potential for cross-border inter-Korean tourism, according to a document seen by NK News. In a research proposal uploaded last week with the goal of finding subcontractors to work on the project, the KTO said it will establish a general plan for “peace tourism on the Korean peninsula.” That plan, the proposal continued, will examine factors including the tourism policies of the South and North Korean governments, relevant inter-Korean summit agreements, and changes in the domestic and overseas markets.
