Sharing at the seminar, Director of the Bureau of Tourism of Incheon City Baig Hyeon referred to Incheon as a gateway city to RoK with diverse tourism infrastructure and content, namely natural marine tourism resources, rich cultural and historical values, top-level MICE infrastructure and advanced medical facilities.

Currently, Incheon is welcoming more than 70% of foreign visitors to RoK, with it having the Incheon international airport, the world's largest airport, Incheon seaport, and cruise ship terminal.

The city is implementing the “Incheon Tourism Partnership” program to breathe new life into the stagnant tourism industry following the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic.
