Mayor Alfredo Abelardo “Albee” Benitez said he is eyeing the creation of a Korean Town in Bacolod City and direct flights from Seoul to attract more Korean tourists.
Benitez met with representatives of Eduglobe, a consulting company for international education and culture exchange and overseas training, and Daegu-Gyeongbuk International Exchange Association, at the Bacolod City Government Center on Tuesday, October 4.
“During their courtesy visit, we were able to discuss about the creation of a Korean Town in Bacolod to invite more Koreans in the city,” Benitez said in a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday.
“As more tourists are coming in this MassKara Festival, we are also eyeing to talk to airline companies to give us direct flights from Seoul to Bacolod and vice versa,” he said.
He is looking forward to these partnerships, Benitez stressed.*
