The pandemic has been a major setback for the tourism industry worldwide. How optimistic are you for the industry to revive in the near future?

The pandemic was certainly very challenging, especially for the travel and tourism industry. So we are glad that things are finally getting better. Travel to South Korea started in June, and since then we have been working closely with our partners to the promotion of Korea travel. Although the growth pace will be slower than the pre-pandemic times, we are positive that pre-pandemic levels will be reached by next year.

Although there has been a rapid escalation in terms of cultural and social exchanges between the two countries and slight growth in tourists traveling to South Korea from India, still not many tourists are traveling to Korea yet, when compared to Europe and other parts of the world. What is your view on this?

National Parks Of India

India is blessed with a rich tapestry of biodiversity that is both a natural heritage and a national treasure. The concept of national parks in the country traces back to the late 19th century when the importance of conserving wildlife began to take root in the consciousness of the colonial administration. The first national park in India, Hailey National Park (now known as Rajaji National Park), was established in 1936, marking a historic commitment to wildlife conservation. The post-independence era saw an exponential increase in protected areas, primarily driven by a need to conserve India’s unique flora and fauna threatened by rampant industrialization and urbanization.
