Korean film promotes Georgia as top destination

Some of Georgia’s most stunning scenery and iconic landmarks will be aired in Korea to entice more Korean visitors to the historic Caucasian nation.

A group from the national public broadcaster of South Korea, Korean Broadcasting System, are currently in Georgia to film the country and make a video that shows the country’s attractiveness and its touristic potential.

Georgia is like a secret treasure. Your country is distinguished with the oldest culture. After filming in New York, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Beirut, we are now filming in Tbilisi. Millions of people in Korea will see the film about Georgia,” said a producer of the Korean Broadcasting System.

Today Georgia’s Ministry of Economy announced the eight-person crew have already filmed historic areas of Georgia’s capital Tbilisi and some iconic areas throughout the country – Sighnaghi, Alaverdi, Telavi, Alvani, Mestia and Ushguli.

While filming Georgia’s eye-catching places, the Korean filmmakers accented Georgia’s cuisine and wine as one of the most precious treasures of the country.

The one hour film about Georgia will be aired by the Korean Broadcasting System in April this year, while 15 short videos will be uploaded on the TV channel’s webpage.

Head of Georgia’s National Tourism Administration Giorgi Chogovadze said the Korean film would raise Georgia’s awareness and encourage more Korean tourists to explore Georgia.
