The bond between India and Korea has only grown stronger over the years, and I’ll be working closely with industry partners to take Korea closer to becoming the ultimate destination for Indian travellers.”
Under her leadership, KTO India plans to expand its activities across key Indian cities, strengthen existing partnerships with the travel trade, and introduce initiatives focused on immersive, experience-led travel to South Korea.
