Bacolod City eyes creation of Korean Town

Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said on Wednesday he is eyeing the creation of a Korean Town to attract its nationals to visit.

In a statement, Benitez said he discussed the plan with the representatives of Eduglobe, a consulting company for international education and culture exchange and overseas training, and Daegu-Gyeongbuk International Exchange Association, who paid him a courtesy visit at the Bacolod City Government Center on Tuesday.

“We were able to discuss about the creation of Korean Town in Bacolod to invite more Koreans to the city,” he said.

Benitez also said as more tourists are coming to the Masskara Festival, which runs until Oct. 23, he is planning to get in touch with airline companies to mount direct flights from Seoul to Bacolod-Silay Airport.
