'K-chicken belt': Korea's fowl play for tourism

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs unveiled plans Thursday to build a nationwide culinary tourism network centered on Korean chicken dishes, seeking to turn the country's growing global appeal into a draw for gastronomic tourism. The initiative, dubbed the "K-chicken belt,” seeks to embrace the full breadth of Korean food culture by linking regional chicken specialties with local history, culture and landmarks to draw foreign visitors outside Seoul and boost regional economies.
