Haeundae Beach in Busan (or Pusan), the most beautiful beach in Korea

BRIEF CHRONICLE OF APAD

APAD, whose inaugural conference was
held in 2004, is an organization comprising academics, practitionersas well as
regulators operating in the derivatives markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The
main objective of this association is to promote research and knowledge on
derivative securities and markets. The APAD has been supported by the Korea
Exchange (KRX) and other participating exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region.

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 CITY

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 and interior 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.
