Autumn In Korea
By Isabel C De Leon; Manila Bulletin' November 28 2009
"In five to 10 years, we will have a package tour of North and South Korea, including Pyongyang.”
Short but full of hope, this statement came from our tour guide Kris Shin as she shepherded us for four days into South Korea’s ski resorts, mountain villages, a theme park called Everland and other tourist attractions. It sent shivers down my spine as I imagined the people of the Korean Peninsula caught in what was believed to be a “proxy war” between two superpowers 59 years ago. It was a heartfelt wish spoken aloud.
But today, renewal and hope are the key words for Korea’s upbeat tourism industry and tour operators are giving it a second, even a third look. Korean Air, the world’s largest and critically acclaimed commercial airline cargo operator recently organized a familiarization tour of Korea’s most charming region: Gyeonggi-do province. It was my second time in Korea, my first in Gyeonggi-do, and it won’t be my last.
Falling For South Korea
By VP Sujata; The Star; December 29 2007
Autumn is the best time to visit South Korea, especially if one wants to get out of the heat.
Not only is the country at its best then, the people will also charm you with their great smiles and pleasant manners. Wherever you travel, you’ll see Koreans out in the open, clad in the latest fashion.
It’s sunny, the skies are blue, and South Korea’s spectacular autumn foliage is a real draw. October and November’s vivid yellows, greens and vibrant reds create a colourful panorama throughout the country.
