Korea is - and continues to be - a popular destination for British tourists, it has been asserted.Michael Michael, marketing manager with the Korean Tourism Organisation, explains more and more people are packing their suitcases, taking out a travel insurance policy and heading off to the country.He states the region has plenty to offer visitors - from temples and palaces for culture vultures, to “fantastic” scenery on the outskirts of Seoul.Mr Michael also notes the country holds a Lotus Lantern Festival, which honours the birth of Buddha.”It’s a unique experience to experience the local culture. It is a fascinating festival and is very colourful indeed … The main festival itself takes place in Seoul but there are festivals all over Korea celebrating Buddha’s birth,” he concludes.Figures from the Korean Tourism Organisation indicate the funds generated as a result of people visiting the region reaches two trillion won (£1.02 billion) on an annual basis.With growing numbers of Britons opting for all-inclusive holidays, many could be forgetting to take out adequate travel insurance, it has been suggested.Recent research carried out by TUI Travel found that 87 per cent of people intend to take an overseas holiday at some point this year.While this represents a fall on the past year, it nevertheless shows that a majority of people are determined not to let the state of the economy affect their travel plans.Notably, 94 per cent of those who intend to head abroad are looking into the benefits of a package holiday deal.
