Ryu In-kwon, CEO of the Korea Ceramic Foundation, stated, "Gwangju, Icheon, and Yeoju are core hubs representing South Korea's ceramic culture, and ceramic culture is an important tourism asset that can expand beyond viewing exhibitions into experience, education, shopping, and regional tourism. Taking this tour as an opportunity, we will effectively promote the cultural tourism assets of the Korea Ceramic Foundation and continuously make efforts to lead to the development of ceramic culture tour courses and tourism commercialization for foreign tourists." The Korea Ceramic Foundation announced that it has taken a full-scale step to foster the region's unique asset, ceramic culture, into a global stay-over tourism content in hands with domestic and foreign tourism industries and media officials.
On June 13, the foundation successfully operated a 'Ceramic Culture Tour' connecting Gwangju, Icheon, and Yeoju by inviting 40 officials from the 'Pan-National Promotion Committee for the Era of 100 Million Global Tourists' (GTC), a pan-national promotion organization aimed at vitalizing the domestic tourism industry and attracting global tourists. This tour was designed to introduce the inherent history, artistry, and industrial value of ceramic culture to showcase the potential of expanding the ceramic resources of the southeastern region of Gyeonggi Province from simple viewing facilities into core experiential and stay-over tourism products to public-private experts. Since GTC promotes regional public relations based on a network of various fields such as the travel industry, media, and tourism supporters, this tour was also conducted in-depth in the form of a fam tour (familiarization tour) to evaluate field potential on the ground rather than a one-way inspection.
The tour group first visited Gwangju Gonjiam Ceramic Park to examine the historical value of Korean ceramic culture and the significance of ceramic culture resources in the Gwangju region by looking around the exhibitions of the Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum and the Hill of Crafts. Next, they moved to Icheon Ceraphia and the Gyeonggi Museum of Ceramic Art to watch special exhibitions and participate in ceramic experience programs where they directly handled clay, experiencing the creativity and charm of convergence-type contents of modern ceramic art. At the final destination, Yeoju Dojasesang, they inspected the Gyeonggi Museum of Everyday Ceramics and the Craft Creation Support Center, while checking the everyday ceramic culture, local ceramic industry, and tourism consumption structures through ceramic shopping. Taking this tour as a starting point, the foundation plans to focus its administrative power on combining exhibitions, experiences, and shopping to upgrade product quality, and expand online and offline public relations and exclusive courses for foreign tourists using GTC channels.
The attempt to plan an integrated tour product by classifying the traditional ceramic assets of Gyeonggi Province into clear themes—such as the history of Gwangju, the art and experience of Icheon, and the distribution and shopping of Yeoju—rather than leaving them in a single district, is evaluated as an extremely innovative and encouraging administrative idea. In particular, preemptively utilizing the travel industry and journalists networks, which are core hubs for attracting foreign tourists, to verify the validity on the ground as a 'stay-over business model where money circulates' beyond simple facility public relations is worthy of praise.
However, critics point out that for this ceramic culture fam tour to settle as a sustainable global regular tour course beyond a short-term, one-off event-driven visit, concrete follow-up measures must be accompanied to resolve chronic physical barriers such as the lack of mass public transit connections among the three cities/counties and deficient multi-language guidance infrastructures exclusive for foreigners. If the connected moving routes linking Gwangju, Icheon, and Yeoju still fall short in accessibility for Free Independent Travelers (FIT) or small-to-medium group tourists, it can easily be avoided at the actual tourist gathering stage no matter how excellent the artistry of the content is. The Korea Ceramic Foundation must look beyond one-dimensional public relations showing the charm of the tour course and cooperate with local governments to drastically improve transportation convenience, such as operating exclusive shuttle buses connecting major KTX/subway stations and ceramic hubs. Furthermore, only when it establishes fundamental follow-up administrations focused on qualitative upgrades—such as establishing digital multi-language docent systems and securing global payment convenience—will it be able to firmly secure the steps of global tourists looking for K-culture into the southeastern region of Gyeonggi.
