Enjoying the Various Charms of South Korea

 

Jakarta – The Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) introduced an exciting concept in traveling to South Korea. Generally, tourists will visit big cities or resorts. Meanwhile, the trend that has developed lately is to visit places that have local characteristics. The concept is called “Glocal”, a combination of two words global and local, where the unique culture of a place can be spread to various international communities. This concept has become possible with the development of transportation networks that will bring tourists to various regions easily and quickly. In addition, the availability of tourism information becomes easily accessible through media and social media.

South Korea is a country that is very suitable for Glocal tourism because South Korea has an excellent transportation system, which includes fast train services, which can take tourists anywhere in a short time. Each region is uniquely different based on its geology and weather. Tourists will enjoy the charm of traditional culture that is well preserved in each area.

Here are some areas that are Glocal tourist destinations with their own uniqueness:

-         Incheon

-         Gangwon-do

-         Daejeon

-         Chungcheongnam-do

-         Chungcheongbuk-do

-         Daegu

-         Jeollabuk-do

-         Jeollanam-do

-         Gyeongsangnam-do

Each region has a different culture, climate, lifestyle, and even a distinct taste of food. Experience in one area to another can be very different. From the location of the winter Olympics in Gangwon-do, enjoying the sunset in Busan, or having a culinary tour in Jeollabuk-do.

“Seoul is charming but South Korea also has other unique charms. For example, Andong or Gyeongju. Tourists can visit these areas to enjoy nature, see historical sites, and see local people's lives up close.” said Irma Maulida, PR & Media Manager of KTO Jakarta.

"We believe this Glocal tourism concept will bring tourists closer to local culture with all its unique characters, and we believe that tourist visits to this Glocal destination will be an unforgettable visit." Close Irma Maulida.

  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu.
