Korea Tourism Organization opens Mongolia office www.koreatimes.co.kr
The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) opened an office in Mongolia, Tuesday, as part of its efforts to diversify the country's tourism market beyond neighboring China and Japan.
The KTO said it held an opening ceremony at the office in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's capital, in which 150 government officials from both countries, local travel agents and medical officials attended to strengthen their ties.
According to the KTO, the number of Mongolian visitors has increased rapidly over the past five years. In 2016, 79,165 Mongolians came to Korea, and 20 percent of them did so to get medical treatment.
Gantogoo Sergelen, who became a singer after winning the Migrants' Arirang Multicultural Festival in Korea last year, was appointed as the KTO's honorary ambassador.
The KTO said more than 17.2 million foreigners visited Korea last year. Nearly half of them were Chinese (8 million), followed by Japanese (2.3 million).
