The weather seems to have improved a little. Although it snowed just a few days ago, it feels like spring is on its way now. In fact, Ipchun (i.e. first day of spring according to the 24 seasonal divisions) has come and gone so it is time for spring to come around. Soon, it will be Valentine’s Day, cherry blossoms will bloom, and May, a month full of weddings, will be upon us!

Wow. Now, that is so scary. To be honest, under a new concept of ‘heaven for solos, hell for couples’, I do hope spring never comes. Today’s news, however, is about a warm country that lies to the south, a place that is popular as a honeymoon destination, so here goes.

Manila, Cebu, and Boracay are destinations that always come up when we talk about honeymoons. The Philippines is a country of hot summers. So far, we have seen Philippine travel destinations on TV from time to time. In the near future, people will be able to watch introductions into Korean tourist destinations on Philippine TV. More specifically, tourist attractions in Gyeonggi Province will be introduced.

In fact, we think about ourselves going to the Philippines and never about people from the Philippines vising our country. However, looking closer, travelling to Korea is quite a sizable market in the Philippines. In 2014, roughly 430,000 people visited Korea from the Philippines!

Which tourist attractions were introduced? The program may have gone like this.

Umm… I will continue in Korean for your convenience.
