Korea Tourism Organization launches an online cultural course for travellers

The Korea Tourism Organization office in New Delhi is introducing a Korean culture online course for travellers in India. The course aims to make Indians culturally aware about South Korea, and is tailored for culturally minded travellers. The course is a paid online one, and will be available at a special price of US$ 32, which is somewhere around INR 2400. It is originally priced at US$ 129.
The cultural awareness course is available for interested travellers until the end of November 2021.

The course is not just for travellers who are looking to holiday in the country. It is also for anyone who is planning to travel to South Korea for study, work, extended stay, and so on. The course includes five modules. You will get to learn about the nation’s geography, cities, daily life, etiquettes, and more.
The idea is to give a better understanding of life in South Korea, so as to minimise any chance of a cultural shock. The modules also come with video interviews of locals. You will also get to interact with foreigners living in the country, who will tell you about their personal experiences.

The Director of Korea Tourism Organisation, Young-Geul Choi, said during the launch, “Till regular travel resumes, we at KTO will keep on bringing new and exciting activities and experiences for Korea fans to help spread the Korean culture and increase the affinity towards South Korea when it comes to travel. Though Korean films & dramas have already offered a glimpse of Korea, we think that a comprehensive one-of-its-kind course like this will give a better understanding of the country to anyone who would like to travel there in the future.”

The course was launched on August 15 this year, which is the Indian Independence Day, as well as the National Liberation Day of Korea
