'They will share their knowledge, introducing their culture to schools in Panggang Island for a week,' Thousand Island's secretary Ismer Harahap said on Saturday as quoted by beritajakarta.com.
According to Ismer, this is the second time the regency has welcomed a group of university students from South Korea, with the initial visit having taken place in 2011. 'Hopefully the visit will have a positive impact on Thousand Island's tourism,' he said.
