Suwon Special City Develops Specialized MICE Content for Suwon

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Special City is expanding industry tourism programs linked to international conferences as part of its International Convention Complex District activation project and moving forward with establishing a Suwon-style industry tourism model.

The city will operate industry tourism programs linked to the '2nd Gwanggyo Quantum Bio Summit' on May 27~28. This is the second international conference-linked industry tourism project being pursued, following the previous industry tourism connected to the 'Asia-Pacific Confederation of Physical Therapy Academic Conference (ACPT 2026)'.

In connection with the '2026~2027 Year of Visiting Suwon', the program is designed to allow participants including global bio scholars, researchers, and industry professionals to experience both Suwon's bio and research infrastructure as well as historical and cultural tourism resources. The city plans to present an industry tourism model that highlights Suwon's advanced industrial capabilities and abundant tourism resources.

On the 27th, a mini symposium and research facility tour were held at Sungkyunkwan University's N Center and CNS Building, and a night scenery tour linked to the Suwon Hwaseong nighttime opening program 'Moonlit Hwaddam' was operated around Banghwasuryujeong.

On the 28th, on-site tours of CJ Blossom Park's bio research and development (R&D;) facilities for students and citizens, and a Suwon Hwaseong night scenery tour program for officials from the Advanced Bio Research Cooperation Center (KOBRA) are scheduled to be held.

The city expects that industry tourism programs linking industry, tourism, and international conferences will increase the length of stay of international conference participants and contribute to both local tourism activation and enhanced competitiveness of the International Convention Complex District.

In particular, the city plans to continuously expand industry tourism programs linked to international conferences to develop specialized MICE content unique to Suwon while raising Suwon's competitive edge as a global MICE city.

Additionally, based on global exchanges grounded in advanced industries such as the Gwanggyo Bio Cluster, the city will pursue the Suwon Economic Free Zone and strengthen the foundation for creating an advanced research and science city.
