Brought to you by Gyeonggi Tourism Organization
Just outside of and around Seoul is Gyeonggi province, the most populous in South Korea. Home to popular attractions such as Everland theme park, the Korean Demilitarized Zone and its historical capital of Suwon, Gyeonggi is also a potential growth market for MICE.
To attract more events, the Gyeonggi Tourism Organisation has launched its campaign called Fall in Gyeonggi to showcase the different reasons why the province is a great place for MICE.
Events on a grand scale
Gyeonggi is more than ready for MICE, with world-class venues capable of holding large-scale events. The province has seen events such as Bucheon International Comics Market, Ansan Intercultural City Symposium, Seongnam GxG Game Conference, Goyang Content Business Forum in 2025 alone.
The most prominent among them is KINTEX (Korea International Exhibition Center) in Goyang, the largest exhibition and convention complex in South Korea. With 178,000m2 of space spanning three exhibition halls, KINTEX is built for efficiency and flexibility. Its spacious concourses and lobbies are suitable for opening ceremonies, while VIP lounge provides exclusivity for important guests.
With various room types, KINTEX is ideal for all sorts of events from conferences and forums to ceremonies and sporting events. The venue also plans to attract more international exhibitions and conventions.
Accessibility from Seoul is highly convenient, either via airport limousine or subway from Incheon International Airport, in less than 90 minutes.
Another exhibition venue is the Suwon Convention Center, located in the modern Gwanggyo district. It brings together a exhibition hall (7,877m2), concourse, convention hall, VIP room, rooftop terrace, and various meeting rooms all in one massive complex, making the venue ideal for opening ceremonies, concerts, exhibitions, and performances among others.
Multiple transport options including subway, buses and airport limousine make accessibility a breeze.
The surrounding Gwanggyo area – home to a lakeside park, department store and the Hanwha Aqua Planet aquarium – makes it a lively area for retail and recreational activities.
Activities to fall in love with Gyeonggi’s charm
Beyond the convention centres, Gyeonggi offers attractions such as Unique Venues to enrich the planner’s itinerary and delegate experience. The province boasts more than 25 Unique Venues that are ideal for team-building, receptions and galas.
