 About Korea |

Korea is a nation that vaunts of a fast growing economy and a lifestyle harmoniously blending the old and new. Once known as the land of the morning calm in the East, Korea has evolved to manifest its dynamic nature in every dimension of society. Subsidiaries of international corporations and western franchises are in active operation nationwide. While embracing modernity, Koreans value their five millennia of history and rich cultural heritage passed down by their ancestors. Its natural beauty preserved for thousands of years and people of amiable character makes Korea an even more attractive place to visit. Many international events have taken place here in Korea, notably the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the APEC Summit 2005, and G20 Seoul Summit.
