Korea Strengthens Tourism Cooperation with Indonesia through the G20 Conference

 

Represented by Deputy Minister Cho Yong-man, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea (MCST, minister Park Bo-kyun) will meet representatives from six travel agencies that are members of ASTINDO (Association of Indonesian Aviation Ticket Selling Companies) during the Ministerial Meeting G20 Tourism (26-28 October, Bali).

Tourism cooperation between Korea and Indonesia has been closely intertwined for a long time and has great potential to continue to grow. Indonesian people's interest in Korean Wave content, including Korean music, drama, and films that can be enjoyed in various media continues to increase during the pandemic. This trend then led to increased interest in Korean tourism. It is recorded that more than 34,000 Indonesian tourists have visited in the three months since the doors of Korean tourism opened in June this year. Meanwhile, Bali is also known as a world-class honeymoon destination and is popular among Koreans. The island, which boasts natural beauty and rich culture, has attracted about 20,000 Korean tourists during the second half of 2022.

Various kinds of improvements still have to be made even though both countries already have a positive image and high tourism attractiveness. First, Korean tourists feel the need to increase the security, comfort, and practicality of tourism in Bali. Second, Indonesian tourists are quite difficult in preparing documents to travel to Korea. Therefore, the meeting between MCST and ASTINDO in Bali is expected to be an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the future in order to provide better services in the tourism sector.

Gerakan silhak pada dinasti joseon di korea selatan

Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po

Silhak movement in the Joseon Dynasty in South Korea

Since the beginning of the 17th century, a movement that advocated Silhak, or learning about practical matters, gained considerable momentum among liberal-minded scholars as a tool for building a modern nation. They strongly advocate for improvements in agriculture and industry, in line with comprehensive reforms in terms of land distribution. However, the nobles of conservative governments were not ready to make such drastic changes. In the second half of the Joseon Dynasty, the administration of government and the upper classes was marked by factionalism or the formation of groups which appeared repeatedly. To clear up the unwanted political situation, King Yeongjo (1724-1776) finally adopted an impartial policy. Thus he was able to strengthen the authority of the King and create political stability. King Jeongjo (1776-1800) succeeded in maintaining impartial politics and established a royal library to store royal documents and records. Ian also initiated othe
