Korean is ready to help Vietnam in training personnel in tourist sector especially on management team and tourist guides as well as promotion at international tourist fair Vietnam take part in.
Additionally, Korea will organize roadshow for Vietnam to help connect the two countries in a bid to beef up tourism facilitating Vietnamese travelers in Korea.
