Seoul, the capital of South Korea sits on the Han River halfway up the Korean peninsula. Seoul has developed into a metropolis, acting as the hub for political, economic, social, and cultural matters. Seoul city is home to a quarter of all South Koreans. Seoul has hosted many international events including: 1986 Asian Games, 1988 Olympic Games and 2002 Korea/Japan FIFA World Cup. The success of these events has shown people that South Korea is truly an international city. Seoul doesn’t have a huge amount to offer on the tourism front and can be easily covered in a day or two. Seoul still retains a hidden history of centuries-old temples, palaces, pagodas and pleasure gardens. It also has luxury accommodation, excellent public transport and cultural experiences, and that's why most visitors to South Korea never get past its city limits. By participating in IFAC-HMS 2007, you will be able to enjoy both the flavor of traditional Korean culture and the excitement of a metropolitan city.
