‘Descendants of the Sun’, a Korean drama which gave viewers all over the world butterflies in their stomach, depicts a beautiful scene of a beach in Zákinthos.

Both cities are hoping to boost tourism by exchanging cultural content, influencing each other in a positive way.
Delegates from each city will visit the other before June to come up with detailed plans to boost tourism in both cities. The representatives will also discuss how to implement their plans.
Mayor Kim Yeon-sik of Taebaek hopes that the cultural exchange between the two cities could also lead to a revitalization of the local economy.
