Governor of Gyeonggi Province
Welcome to World
Eco-tourism Conference 2012!
The year 2012 marks
the 20th anniversary of the Rio Declaration as well
as the 10th anniversary of the United Nations'
International Year of Eco-tourism. As we honor these
special milestones, I consider it particularly
meaningful that this year’s World Eco-tourism
Conference is taking place in Gyeonggi Province.
Nowadays, the
impact of eco-tourism is not limited to the tourism
sector but also contributes to nature conservation,
local development and world peace.
I look forward to
your active support of World Eco-tourism Conference
2012 so that we can find new directions for the
development of eco-tourism around the world.
Thank you.
Kim Moon-soo
Governor of
Gyeonggi Province |
