KCB has a main responsibility for periodical promotional activities and organizing conventions while KNTO supports KCB’s tasks by providing market intelligence that is utilized by convention professionals to attract international conventions (Pyo & Koo, 2002).
As Korea’s convention industry is still at its early stage of development, back-up from the convention bureau is crucial in the complexities of pre-voting lobbying, bidding, and general networking that this sector of tourism industry demands (Hunt, 1989). Therefore, KCB’s responsibility and involvement in promoting and developing Korea as a favored convention destination is undoubtedly critical at this stage.
However, strategies involving long-term, high profile, and global based campaigns are not fully addressed in the current marketing strategies of KCB. There is an urgent need for a deeper understanding of the convention sector and effective marketing strategies from its ruling organizations in the implementation of the strategies. More extensive market research should be conducted on a regular basis to develop short and long-term strategic plans and to promote Korea as an ideal international convention site. If the international convention market is undergoing continuous development in Korea, then a need exists to develop long-term and high profile strategies that will perpetuate the country’s ability to compete in a global convention market place.
In addition, a wider range of promotional activities and campaigns are required to enhance the images of Korea as an ideal convention destination. There is an obvious synergy to be gained in promoting the convention industry within more generic marketing activity. Hence, Korea should develop a global branding campaign to position itself more competitive in the market.
