Myong-dong Review

A first rate shopping and entertainment area, Myong-dong is noted for its eating, drinking, and entertainment establishments frequented by people of all ages. Located in downtown Seoul, there are four major department stores staffed by clerks who can speak either English or Japanese. Many of the top city's stores line the narrow alleys of Myong-dong. Major fashion designers also have boutiques here and foreign brand name products and shoe stores can be found in abundance. Financial institutions such as banks and investment companies are also located along Myong-dong.

North Korea's Economy

North Korea's economy is currently one of the world's only centrally planned systems. The role of market allocation is sharply limited – mainly in the rural sector where some peasants sell produce from small private plots. There are almost no legal small businesses, but illegal small businesses are very common. Although there have been scattered and limited attempts at decentralization, as of mid-1993, Pyongyang's basic adherence to a rigid centrally planned economy continues, as does its reliance on fundamentally non-monetary incentives. The collapse of communist governments around the world in 1991, particularly North Korea's principal source of support, the Soviet Union, have forced North Korean economy to realign its foreign economic relations. Economic exchanges with South Korea have even begun in earnest ways at times

Korea's Tourism Industry

Coming to Korea from Germany in 1978, I fell in love with Korea's history, culture, nature and people so much so that I became a Korean citizen. Now as the head of Korea's tourism industry, I have the privilege of promoting Korea's numerous attractions that I have enjoyed so much in the past and still enjoy today.

Some people might say there isn't much to see in Korea, but I strongly disagree. Visitors will find beautiful landscapes and fascinating historical relics in every corner of the country. Local customs and mouth-watering delicacies form part of our treasured heritage. And then there is the unstoppable energy of modern Korea, a power rooted in ancient history that has catapulted the once impoverished country into the exclusive club of wealthy nations within less than 50 years.
