On November 13, Kangwon Land signed a four-party business agreement with the Gangwon Tourism Foundation, Yangyang County, and Korea Airports Corporation’s Yangyang International Airport at a meeting room at the airport. The agreement aligns with government policy to increase visits by international tourists to regional areas by connecting local airports with regional tourism resources.

The four participating organizations will establish a working-level cooperation network and develop tourism packages using direct flights to Yangyang Airport, while pursuing joint overseas marketing. Kangwon Land plans to attract tourists from China and Southeast Asia by combining Yangyang Airport’s visa-free entry program with High1 Resort’s ski, wellness, and Water World facilities.

Building on this agreement, Kangwon Land also plans to expand cooperation to airports such as Incheon International Airport and Cheongju International Airport, and explore ways to connect major airports across the country with tourist destinations in Gangwon Province.

“Through close cooperation with the relevant organizations, we will attract more international tourists and bring fresh vitality to Gangwon’s tourism industry as a whole, including areas undergoing a transition from the coal industry,” said Kim Do-gyun, CEO of Kangwon Land.
