Seoul, Korea

Korean culture may be characterized as a dichotomy which eloquently combines ancient oriental traditions with modern technology. While traces of Korea's 5,000 year old history may be found in the various palaces, city gates, and temples around downtown Seoul, you may also notice the country's rapid development in the areas of industry, trade, and commerce. In particular, the well-established infrastructure guarantees the success of international conferences and events held in Seoul. We hope that you will take the opportunity to personally experience this incredible blend of history and modernity, as the citizens of Seoul are ready to share their unique warmth and friendship with the citizens of the world.
