ABOUT THE CONFERENCE SITE
Haeundae boasts an emerald seascape, fine sandy beach and beautiful attractions. With its hot springs and excellent recreational facilities, it is also one of the most visited places in Korea.
Haeundae Beach is probably the most famous beach in Korea. Haeundae is 1.5 km long, 30~50m wide, and spans an area of 58,400㎡. The white sand is rough and sticks easily to your skin. The sand of this beach is composed of sand that comes from Chuncheon Stream and shells that have been naturally eroded by the
wind over time. Haeundae Beach is also famous for the various cultural events and festivals held throughout the year.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE SITE
Busan is Koreas second largest city and the number 1 trading port. This geopolitically situated harbor city sits adjacent to the Korean Straits and Japan, bringing about an interchange of trade and tourism. This intercultural current has made Busan into the international metropolis it is today. Busan has hosted such international events as the 2002 14th Asian Games, the final match of
the Korea/Japan World Cup, and since 1995 has annually hosted the Pusan International Film Festival.
Sight-seeing in Busan (or Pusan) can typically be classified into two groups: seashore andinterior land sight-seeing. Seashore sightseeing includes such sights as the beach areas, islands, and Hae Ahn Park. Busans most charming tourist point is its beautiful sea vistas. The southeastern
beach areas have amazing views of the fantastically shaped rocks and islands, which are a must see. The famous beaches of Haeundae, Gwangalli, and Songjeong are enjoyed by many. Boating, jet skies, and banana boats are just among a few of the water recreation activities visitors can take advantage of. Amnam Park, Igidae, and Haean Park offer views of natures masterpieces. The natural beauties of Busan can also be taken in by riding the cruise boats in the harbor.
