The Seoul-based Korean Tourism Department (KTD) is organising a massive roadshow in New Delhi in late August to woo Indian tourists. The roadshows were also proposed in other major cities in India.

According to KTD Executive Director Lee Younggeun, Korean pop, food and beauty products will be promoted in different parts of the Indian capital to attract Indian tourists and familiarise them with tourist destinations in South Korea.

“There are a number of places for Indian tourists in South Korea. At many of these places, Indian food is also available apart from Korean, Italian, Mexican, Chinese and other inter-continental foods which are popular with the Indians,” he said.
