EATOF, led by local governments in East Asia, has been making steady efforts to establish a new model for international cooperation beyond promoting tourism and cultural exchanges among countries. I hope that EATOF will strengthen exchanges among member countries, which have been reduced over the past two years, and serve as a platform for constructive discussions on sustainable tourism that aims at preserving nature and biodiversity.

Based on our strong trust and close cooperation that has lasted for 20 years, Gangwon State will no spare no efforts to ensure practical exchanges and cooperation in tourism among member countries.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Kim JinTae
Governor of Gangwon State
