Culture and tourism are the fundamental elements that compose human activities.

Culture lets humans be humans. Culture allows a human to have life with time and space. And in that sense, tourism is one of the cultural activities that make a human have more humanity. Thus culture and tourism are essential for our lives and they are an important path to go through for understanding humans.

Culture and tourism: The power source for growth in Korea

In the 21st century the advanced industrial countries are not expected to have as much dramatic growth as they did in the past. We are not an exception either. Placed in this situation of having to keep creating our potential and discovering a new power source for the growth of this country, culture and tourism are being raised as the new power sources for the advancement of Korea in the future. The efforts of the KCTI continue to guarantee that the new power sources for the growth of Korea will center on culture and tourism with an innovative approach that this age requires.

KCTI becomes the future’s hope

We are experiencing a world economic crisis in the middle of our dramatic process to be a knowledge based society. However, the true nature of this crisis is cultural and the way to overcome the crisis can be found in culture and tourism. The KCTI will take the initiative in overcoming the crisis and enriching our lives. As a core organization leading culture and tourism policies in this knowledge based society, the KCTI will be settled in the middle of hope to take responsibility for the future of Korea.
