TURN ON CHARM

GOLD Coast tourism is gearing up to go Gangnam-style busters as 52,000 South Koreans swap kimchi for our beachside barbies. Sealing the deal with Jetstar and JeJu Air to start three direct flights a week between the Gold Coast and Seoul from December has been a big coup. The South Korean market is growing rapidly and direct flights are tipped to pump millions into the local economy. South Koreans are known to be repeat visitors if they’re happy, so the city has to turn on the charm.
